Are you planning to move to a new facility or looking to streamline your current operations?
Do you want to really transform the efficiency of how your processes run?
Are you frustrated with the bottlenecks and "work arounds" that exist in your facility and want to apply a best practice, optimised approach?
Lots of businesses grow organically over time, adding products and processes to their existing facility. Growth is great, however adhoc changes, all "bolted" together, can causes issues. Double and triple handling of materials, people spending 20% of their day walking, lack of workplace organisation, clutter and confusion... these are just some of the issues caused by a poor process and a poor physical layout.
