As noted on the cover, Revision A contains our generic industrial engineering proposals should your company seek outside expertise in your improvement effort. Since you have chosen Revision A, congratulations, as we guarantee your savings will offset our fees within the first year should you decide to use us in your cost reduction efforts. Our proven track record, concentrated effort, objectivity with no dilution of your own personnel will result in earlier realized gains. Classic Productivity Systems is a collection of labor and space optimization techniques and examples of various return-on-investment scenarios designed to assist the industrial sector in being cost competitive. It is a detailed modernization return-on-investment exercise in the stockroom, fabrication, assembly, work-in-process, finished goods departments and addresses materials handling mechanization & product automation feasibility as well as classical direct labor control systems. JD Gray Associates has developed a two phased approach designed especially for each clients requirements: OPERATIONS AUDIT . Our industrial engineering critique of plant-wide operations determines a cost reduction master plan. Our Operations Audit will develop materials handling configurations, work cell automation types and classical direct labor controls systems that are best used with assembly manufacturers or distribution centers. It is the first and most critical step in cost reduction as it is performed prior to materials handling or automation equipment purchase to enable the client to view mechanization alternatives with paybacks for each scenario. This is an industrial engineering critique of plant-wide operations and includes thru put analysis, staffing, plant wide-departmental-work station layout, equipment specifications-request for quotations-quotations, semi-automation tooling, detailed productivity recommendations, alternative material handling systems, outline of consulting services, comparison of savings versus cost & phased modular segments of our recommended systems. As a result of the completion of our Operations Audit ... concentrated effort will have been paid to the classical productivity areas of materials handling, work-in-process storage and tracking, semi-automatic machinery, paced assembly, short-interval-scheduling, labor reporting, industrial engineered standards and methods & industrial incentives ... and sub proposals will be generated where the return-on-investment is greatest. We have provided samples of the major Operations Audit sections including the personnel summary, the implementation `action required' section, layout, the savings and cost section and the executive summary as well as step by step preparation procedures so you can create your own Operations Audit if you so choose. We have also provided the final documents of some of our installed consulting activities including printed circuit board insertion time values entitled The Standards Guide, a workstation visual aid, workstation line balancing, final materials handling equipment specifications, a sampl
