Planning /Scheduling

Do some of the machines in your factory sit idle because the work has stopped somewhere else along the line? Does your factory floor look like a traffic jam on a busy freeway during rush hour? Let our production management specialists help you plan your production to maximize efficiency, reduce scheduling conflicts, and make the most of your available capacity.

Our specialists will help you develop the right production plan to fit your needs, considering your physical plant, your machinery and equipment, your raw materials and supply chain, and many other factors. We will help you determine and document the most efficient manufacturing process, and evaluate the relevant parameters to keep your operation running smooth. Our analyses and simulations will optimize your
logistics, material flow, lead times and inventory levels.

Production Plan (Manufacturing):

Plan may provide all or selected combination of the listed modules.
-Physical plant requirements
(building, utility requirements, expansion capability, layout)
- Machinery and equipment
(new or used, lease or purchase, capacity)
- Raw materials
(readily available, quality, sources)
- Inventory requirements
(seasonal levels, turnover rates, method of control)
- Suppliers
(volume discounts, multiple sources)
- Personnel required
(full-time, part-time, skill level, availability, training required)
- Cost of facilities, equipment and materials
(estimates and quotations)
- Capital estimates
(one time start-up or expansion capital required)

Manufacturing process development:

Determine and document the most efficient steps in the manufacturing process. The relevant parameters will be developed and documented.

Simulation approach:

Determine optimized metrics such as: logistics, material flow, lead times and inventory levels.
