The Solution
- Gather baseline data and information to perform the various analyses
- Conduct a material flow analysis to determine the transportation methods and equipment of material
- Conduct a storage analysis to estimate the amount of space needed for the increase of part density and inventory levels
- Conduct a dock analysis to determine the minimum number of docks needed
- Conduct a congestion analysis to identify aisles and areas of heavy traffic
The DSI Difference
- Confirmed that existing storage areas plus a new warehouse are sufficient for future productions with decreased inventory levels
- Determined the number of receiving docks needed for the new warehouse
- Established Material handling equipment type is needed for the new production.
- Identified current areas of congestion and future areas based on the increase of production levels
- Provided recommendations outside of the analyses to help support the increase of production
