The first discussion should be: what can SVC Alliance help you with. There are always stages of continuous improvement. Let's start at stage 1.
We will develop the plan, implement the plan, measure the results and earn your trust. Nest step...stage 2 implementation!
We are small enough to be flexible and give that unique attention and large enough to leverage some serious savings.
We utilize a Plan For Every Part (PFEP) methodology in our design concepts. Gathering every piece of information about every part allows us to model many different concepts. We believe that Less than full information drives less than full results.
The Base Strategies:
Assessment of the current operations is paramount for us to help you achieve the next level of improvement. We want to have that academic discussion and ask..."why do you do that"? This helps us to model the operation and put it into our engineering analysis. We have to understand your data if we are going to provide improved outcomes.
Internal Logistics is all about optimizing work-flow, reducing touch-points, and creating that simple process flow from the Inbound receiving door to the Assembly cell to the Outbound shipping door and finally to the Customer. You must be able to view the plant and the process holistically...visual management is the key.
External Logistics is all about controlling what happens outside your doors. This becomes more of a challenge for your team to control and it takes you away from managing your core competency. We will design a transportation policy that defines the framework by which your product moves. This goes full-circle back to customer orders and optimizes carrying-costs.
