Factory Layout
We are an IT and Operations Consulting Company
WHEN IS IT TIME TO MAKE CHANGES IN YOUR FACTORY LAYOUT?
Moving tools and racking on the shop floor can be a time consuming and futile process for some and as a result it is often avoided. Production processes depend on product moving from one work centre to another and as a result bottlenecks between the centres may arise, “buffering” the production, slowing the movement, and cluttering the path to an order being completed.

It’s all about flow. Managing the flow of product through your production floor and warehouse can have a significant impact on your time to deliver. As you consider changing your factory layout, additional questions arise:
The Invoke team has performed numerous factory layouts in the past, and has toured hundreds of factories and warehouses.
