PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT SERVICES

At IMEG, we specialize in productivity improvement consulting services for manufacturing companies. Our services help you reduce waste, increase throughput, and improve operational efficiency. Using proven industrial engineering methods, we target key performance areas to elevate productivity with measurable results.

DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS

work balance optimization
  • We utilize detailed data collection methods to uncover inefficiencies and downtime in your processes:
  • Conduct delay studies to identify causes of equipment downtime, such as breakdowns, changeovers, and material shortages
  • Apply work sampling studies to quantify value-add and non-value add time across work areas
  • Utilize group timing technique to assess performance across operator teams

  • Establish accurate labor time standards to improve planning, staffing, and costing decisions:
  • Implement Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Time Standards (MODAPTS) or Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) systems to estimate process time for new products
  • Apply MODAPTS or MTM to set performance benchmarks for repetitive tasks or new operations
  • Ensure labor standards are consistent, fair, and applicable for process optimization

MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATION

We support manufacturing teams in maximizing output through intelligent system design:​

manufacturing efficiency optimization
  • Utilize work combination charts to visualize the time required to complete each task among simultaneous operations
  • Develop current line balances to evaluate current operator & station load
  • Develop proposed operator work balances to better level workload across a process, removing bottlenecks and reducing trapped labor
  • Utilize standard work charts to display key process flow and cycle time information for work cells
  • Evaluate and improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to identify losses in production and guide improvement efforts to target the availability, performance, and quality of a manufacturing process
  • Utilize linear programming to identify optimal process parameters

work balance optimization

  • Worker Safety and ergonomic risk reduction improves productivity and reduces workplace injuries:
  • Conduct ergonomic evaluations for workstations, tasks, and operator movements
  • Identify and assess risk factors using Potential Ergonomics Issue List (PEIL) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation methodologies
  • Develop action plans to mitigate ergonomic hazards and reduce musculoskeletal strain.
