Learn how to efficiently utilize your existing footprint
MassMEP utilizes the data driven process of Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) developed by Dr. Richard Muther. 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 and effective 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

Benefits of a Typical Plant Layout
• Department footprint reduced by 62%
• Increased unit production by 57%
• Output per shift increased by 82%
• While maintaining quality, reducing costs and maintaining the integrity of the product.
