Vice President, Sales
CurrentManufacturing professionals are tasked to shape and advance a production system that will essentially orchestrate the flow of materials, information, people and processes in your plant. At Geolean, we refer to this as Internal Logistics. When properly supported, Internal Logistics should promote efficient (or LEAN) material handling by analyzing and improving part storage, movement, protection and presentation. However you define it, we focus on material handling because it is one of the most critical functions impacting production. A company’s ability to evaluate and continuously improve in this area will impact morale, safety, quality, cost, and delivery simultaneously. Statistics show that 75% of production costs and 55% of plant space is associated with material handling. Meaning, your ability to “win” at manufacturing will be impacted by the health and effectiveness of your production system. A few questions to consider:Does your current internal logistics system connect the entire plant?Does internal logistics function with the same discipline as production?How are you evaluating your systems capability and effectiveness today? Who is helping you create immediate physical change on your plant floor?Geolean’s mission is to partner with our clients and answer these questions with you, in your plant. We are “hands on” and engage your team on the shop floor to drive physical and sustainable material flow improvements. So whether you are starting down the path to a structured improvement system or need a turbo boost to go from good to great, contact Geolean to initiate a discussion on how we can support your journey to operational excellence.
