| Factory Moves |
Let us ride shot-gun and make sure the gold is delivered.
Did you know that 65% of factory moves fail to deliver as promised? Often, that’s because
people inexperienced in managing factory moves are “learning from their mistakes.”
Being highly experienced in managing factory moves we can help assure the success of your
move.
As project manager we can help to:
Reduce space and avoid unnecessary brick and mortar.
Reduce indirect costs and by creating a lean process flow and layout
Reduce direct costs by applying “improve as you move.” techniques
Reduce inventory and other waste by applying Lean Principles
Find and manage competent equipment riggers
Train people as we go to become world-class manufacturers.
Since 1993, we have successfully
· Moved 17 factories
· Closed 8 factories
· Started-up 4 new factories
· Completed 3 factory turnarounds
We guarantee cost savings! – Why take a risk?!
