MATERIAL FLOW ANALYSIS

IMEG specializes in optimizing material flow within manufacturing environments to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and streamline operations. Our material flow analysis services focus on mapping, managing, and continuously improving how materials and operators move through your facility.

EXAMINE MATERIAL FLOW

travel distance analysis

Develop detailed spaghetti diagrams visualize the movement of material and operators for each process
Conduct travel distance analyses to identify inefficiencies in transport routes and eliminate unnecessary motion
Define and optimize the replenishment cycle to ensure the timely resupply of materials, preventing production delays
Monitor production hourly count to track progress in real-time and align output with scheduled build plans
Implement Kanban systems to improve visibility, track materials, and manage inventory through each stage of the manufacturing process

MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

Analyze and identify optimal Work In Process (WIP) material quantities to avoid overproduction or shortages
Document a Plan For Every Part (PFEP) to outline the flow of raw material to finished goods for each product
Conduct comprehensive storage analyses to define and optimize material storage locations and quantities, improve layout efficiency, and reduce search time

material replenishment planning

IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO REDUCE WASTE

Implement FIFO material flow plans to maintain inventory freshness and improve traceability
Deploy pull systems to align material supply with actual demand and reduce overproduction
Standardize packaging quantities for consistent replenishment and storage planning
Optimize material replenishment strategies and eliminate double handling through lean principles
Minimize travel distances between process steps to cut non-value added movement and improve productivity
