A Lean transformation within your company identifies waste, reduces throughput and inventory, and impacts your bottom line. Lean principles are used by large and small companies and are the basis of sustainment in a down economy. Lean manufacturing is the foundation of a Next Generation Manufacturer.

A Lean transformation can impact every aspect of your organization from the shop floor to the front office to your supply chain. MassMEP’s performance based training programs will provide impact to your bottom line and create the roadmap you need to succeed as a Next Generation Manufacturer.

Quality Management

Compliance in Quality Management Systems standards is critical; in many industries, it is a requirement for doing business with your customers. Have you transformed your Quality management System into a competitive advantage?

MassMEP provides a number of options that allow your company to become registered in any of the QMS standards: ISO 9001-2008, ISO14050-2009, AS9100, and 13485.

Plant Layouts

Are you consolidating operations?

Receiving new equipment from another plant and not sure where to place it?

MassMEP utilizes the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) approach developed by Dr. Richard Muther for its facility layout design service. This is a team-based systematic process that uses actual data to determine the most effective and efficient layout possible. SLP is recognized throughout the world as the most organized way to develop layout plans. The process is essential for those companies who must:

•  Add major new equipment or capacity
•  Re-arrange for better material flow and throughput
•  Expand or consolidate facilities
•  Implement work cells and lean manufacturing
•  Implement new warehousing methods, processes, and systems
•  Re-arrange teams or more effective office communications

MassMEP works with your team to make your foot print as efficient as possible.
