BIZCheck™ Operations

Does your company utilize the latest in lean manufacturing techniques? Or do you need a nuts and bolts analysis of your production status with improvement opportunities highlighted? The Freeland Group offers a program to help you evaluate your productivity effectiveness. We can help you improve:

Process Flow

Process flow charts provide a step-by-step description of your production process. They are used to eliminate bottlenecks and to balance the production flow. Usually, steps can be combined or the sequence changed to achieve major cost savings.

Plant Layout

Rapid growth sometimes precludes looking at plant layout from an overall perspective. An overall analysis can be used to improve the efficiency of an existing manufacturing line or to produce the most efficient layout for a new facility.

Material Flow

Quite often, large efficiency gains come from improved material handling operations. The trend today is to reduce in-process inventory in order to save costs and improve productivity. A thorough process analysis will uncover these opportunities.

Quality Control

Quality control should be built into your production processes rather than operated as a separate ”go-no-go” function after the product is made. There are tremendous advantages in making it right the first time, every time.

Maintenance Management

There are many PC based programs to organize and improve maintenance management. This area offers some of the greatest areas of potential cost savings in manufacturing.

Economic Evaluation

Should you buy that new machine or not? If you do, what will the benefits by? Does it make economic sense to go ahead? Our industrial engineering expertise can help answer these questions for you.

Offered at a nominal fee, our BIZCheck™ analysis will focus your attention on those areas that will provide the greatest benefit in the shortest time. The Freeland Group is fully experienced and ready to assist you in implementing these changes in your firm.
