• Project completed on schedule and within budget, with value-added activities related to optimising internal systems of the project.

 

Services Offered:

• Demand Forecasting: We assist clients in forecasting demand for their goods and services based on existing data.

• Material Handling: We design material handling systems for warehouses, and shipping/receiving stations.

• Facilities Planning: We design new facilities, or re-design existing ones to help achieve maximum flow of people and materials in the system.

• Design of Work Systems: We “design” work, which includes procedures and methods, work measurement and time studies, and compensation plans.

• Logistics & Transportation Planning: We assist clients in evaluating the lowest-cost plan for distributing goods from multiple origins to multiple destinations.

• Quality Control: We help establish quality standards through design of the standards and conformation to the standards. Quality control includes (but not limited to) inspection methods, statistical process control, and acceptance sampling.

• Inventory Management: We help establish and implement procurement models to help keep inventory costs to a minimum based on historical and forecasted data, and implement automated stocking systems, such as bar-coding and other material handling systems.

• Production Scheduling: We schedule your operations to achieve maximum possible use of equipment, facilities, materials, and human activities.

• Engineering Economics: We assist clients in making economic decisions related to operations. This includes the methodologies of decision making and discounted cash-flow methods.

• Queuing Management and Simulation of Queuing Systems: We develop queue models to assist clients determine capacity and manage their service levels with smaller queue lengths and higher service levels. We also simulate real-life scenarios to test out any changes virtually, before they are implemented in real-life.
