A good
layout is one of the most important keys to manufacturing
effectiveness and profitability. Layouts need to keep up
with current business levels and products, and should be
reviewed periodically to assess their suitability for
today's production plans.
PRiMEX
can help reduce your manufacturing costs through an
improved plant layout.
We offer the expertise, knowledge, and skills to work with
you to radically reduce costs within your manufacturing
facility.

Hazarous Waste Reduction
Assists the
manufacturer to identify opportunities for hazardous waste
reduction. After a walk through of the facility and
interviews with key personnel, a report is generated
documenting existing conditions, compliance status and
recommendations.
This
assessment is best suited for manufacturers that generate
more than four drums of hazardous waste per quarter.
Clean Lean
Lean
manufacturing is becoming a standard way of operating in
a lot of companies. More and more manufacturers are
realizing the benefits of this continuous improvement
process that is driven by such practices as reduced lot
sizes, minimal lead time, inventory as needed, and
elimination of waste. Clean manufacturing is a natural
extension of lean because it, too, is a continuous
improvement process that is used to increase a company's
productivity; but it focuses on reducing and eliminating
the impact of waste on your environment and your bottom
line. Clean optimizes the use and selection of resources
and technologies to improve your processes and products
and aim for zero waste. Integrating environment, energy,
health and safety considerations into lean decision
making is a logical next step in your lean
implementation.
Clean manufacturing focuses on eliminating:
 |
underutilized resources |
|
|
inefficient energy use |
|
|
wasteful
byproducts |
|
|
excessive
regulatory requirements |
|
|
workplace
health and safety issues |
|
|
liability
and risks faced by owners. |
OSHA
Health and safety are important issues facing small and
midsize industries. Work-related
injuries can disrupt production, increase insurance costs,
and present potential liability claims. Challenging
regulatory requirements range from permissible exposure
limits to hazard communication requirements. Enforcement
proceedings can disrupt work, result in substantial fines,
and place a stigma on companies.
We can help you avoid fines by performing an assessment of
your facility and employee working conditions for compliance
with OSHA standards.
