Problems We Solve for Our Clients
Can you benefit from automating a particular process in your company? How ALLIAVANT can assist.
Absolutely, the potential benefits of automation are numerous: it can increase your overall productivity, quality and safety; while maintaining or enhancing a competitive edge. But, before initiating the journey to implementing automation and robotics in a manufacturing facility, there are steps that manufacturer should take to ensure that the benefits outpace the cost and time of the implementation.
ALLIAVANT can help you evaluate your current situation and provide a detailed analysis of your processes and the opportunity cost for multiple viable options, so that you are well positioned to make right decisions. ALLIAVANT can support you through the design and implementation phases up to completion of the project. We ensure that metrics are in place to monitor tangible and data-driven results that confirm the benefits of the implementation.
There are signs of an incipient comeback of manufacturing in North America, automation has been part of the change.
You have a product idea or prototype, but you do not have the expertise to industrialize the product. How ALLIAVANT can help.
It is not uncommon for startups to come up with ideas or an innovative product and eventually recognize that to launch a whole manufacturing operation takes more than just the “know-how” of the product, it also requires the support of experts with industrial engineering and operations management knowledge.
Early in the lifecycle, start-ups are required to make the critical decisions regarding entry into manufacturing that will significantly impact the success of the company. ALLIAVANT is well positioned to assist entrepreneurs in developing the right strategy to successfully launch a product and a high-tech manufacturing business.
New niche products and changing technology are bringing new manufacturing business ideas for start-ups.
Deliverables
Facility Planning and Design
The Facility Planning & Design Report (FDR) delivers the framework for the creation of a new facility, containing key components of a business’s overall operation, both in terms of optimizing the effectiveness of the production process and meeting the needs of employees.
The objective of facility planning and design is to ensure a smooth flow of work, material, and information through a system. This document considers the integration of the needs of people (personnel and customers), materials (raw, finished, and in process), and machinery in such a way that they create a single, well-functioning system.
There are eight (8) key characteristics of the proposed facility described in this report:
• Minimizes unit and project costs,
• Aims to optimize quality,
• Promotes the effective use of people, equipment, space, and energy,
• Delivers for the convenience, safety, and comfort of the employees,
• Achieves the production start date,
• Builds flexibility into the plan,
• Reduces or eliminates excessive inventory, and
• Achieves project specific goals.
ALLIAVANT follows the best practices in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering through the collection, analysis, and development of vital and relevant data to produce a functional plant layout. Our qualitative and methodical approach, including computer-assisted simulation, yields a facility design that optimizes efficiency, productivity, profitability, and safety.
