About

Short Term Projects including Design and Implementation of Paced Assembly Production Lines, Industrial Incentives, Labor Standards, S-I-S, Labor Reporting, Pick/Pack Systems, 3-Day Audits

I'm a contract industrial engineer doing business over 30 years for 50 plus corporations involving approximately 200 projects. I can either analyze an entire factory or distribution center to develop a cost reduction master plan prior to implementation or perform productivity projects within the facility.

The operational analysis that I perform is a detailed modernization ROI exercise in the stockroom, fabrication, assembly, w-i-p and finished goods departments and addresses materials handling mechanization & product automation feasibility as well as direct labor control systems. This is an industrial engineering critique of plant wide operations and includes:
• Projected staffing based on 5 year sales forecast after my recommendations are installed
• Plant-wide/departmental/work station layout
• Equipment specs/RFQ/quotes
• Semi-automation tooling techniques such as pick & place robotics/precision vibratory grids/auto screw insertion/auto carton form & seal
• Detailed productivity recommendations
• Alternative material handling systems
• Phased modular segments of our recommended system.

My productivity projects are direct labor controls including time study, line balancing, layout, industrial engineered standards and methods, industrial incentives, short-interval-scheduling & labor reporting. My productivity specialization project is in the semi-automation of assembly operations using paced production lines and robotic work cells - I've installed over 100 production lines for over 1000 finished products. I also specialize in stockroom pick and pack systems with companies such as Dormer in Reading, PA whose system I designed and implemented in 1978 involving multiple retrieval carousels and a paced packaging system that is still going strong.

Most recently, I've been involved in the creation of a plant-wide gain sharing system for a steel coil manufacturing facility in Massachusetts & Army Depot tank transmission labor standards.
