Improve operational data and process areas.

We then validate which baseline parameters align with organizational goals and where disconnects currently exist. From there, multiple material flow analysis (MFA) reports are employed to compile data on current distribution practices, operational costs and key performance indicators (KPI) for comparison to alternative warehouse strategies.

enVista’s proprietary suite of warehouse design and slotting tools provides over 80 process area profiles and reports that drive alternative Lean material flow strategies throughout your facility. By systematically applying Lean principles throughout this process, enVista’s project teams identify the solutions that most effectively eliminate current operational deficiencies, decrease waste (MUDA and MURA), improve organizational service levels and reduce costs.

With industry-leading simulation technologies and unparalleled experience, our facility design engineers optimize IT technologies, labor force, material flow, MHE automation, inventory management, and overall supply chain performance to create a facility that will not only exceed today’s performance requirements, but tomorrow’s as well.
