Primary: IE
Secondary: ME

Non-Disclosure Agreement: NO

Intellectual Property: YES

PLAN FOR EVERY PART - Need high level analysis of multiple assembly lines. Involving hundreds of part numbers, with highly varying usage requirements. Project will involve a high level of data analysis, along with information gathering. Example: Assess supplier packaging (box sizes and quantities). Need proposals for development of Lean Supermarkets, including layout with space requirements and min/max levels. Layouts and proposals to maximize material presentation on lines, based on just in time replenishment cycles. Proposal should include an estimated cost and projected ROI to provide to sponsor at the conclusion of this project.
