Bindery

• Is there a preventive maintenance program? Warehouse
• Are rolls/pallets organized and easily accessible with a fork truck?
• How much raw material and product damage is visible?
• Is inventory tracked in the MIS software? Plant Layout
Plant layout is the physical relationship of the build- ing, including size, location of departments, and the efficient flow or movement of a job through the production process. New equipment installations and plant expansion are opportune times to evalu- ate the plant layout. Improvements in plant layout can often free up significant amounts of space.
• Does the physical workflow make sense, resulting in the least distance of movement, and are frequently used materials stored near point of use?
• Is the right amount of space allocated for each piece of equipment, avoiding clutter and making it easy to move around and access equipment?
Summary Workflow assessments can optimize existing tech- nology, equipment, space, and identify needs for immediate improvements and future investments to ensure maximum efficiency and profitability.
