Process Organization Technology for Existing Component Plants
Edmond Lim, P.Eng. LimTek Solutions Inc.
E
very component manufacturer has actively implemented lean and best practices customized and optimized to their existing personnel, plant machinery, plant layout, yard layout, and plate supplier’s software. Most component manufacturers are operating as efficiently as possible within their unique constraints and are successful in keeping customers happy and are making a profit.
With that being said, these unique constraints may have become legacy inefficiencies that are increasing the cost of doing business. Time is money, and solving these legacy inefficiencies presents an opportunity for component manufacturers to increase production, save time, and save money by eliminating these nagging constraints. LimTek and Enventek have researched and developed Process Organization Technology and Process Organization Software that addresses many of these nagging truss plant inefficiencies. Enventek software modules work standalone with 3rd party systems but work best in tandem with our machinery technology that has been designed to be implemented in standalone stages and ideally as an entire integrated system.
Accelerating ROIs To increase your existing saw’s production, you can eliminate inefficient, expensive, and laborintensive “forklift lumber picking” AND reclaim your automated saw’s idle time with an Enventek Lumber PickLine. Tom Hollinshed, Owner of Comtech Inc in Fayetteville, NC, implemented a double Lumber PickLine and got an accelerated ROI: 1. Increased production of 3,000 to
5,000 bdft more for each saw; 2. Accelerated operating cost savings
by shutting down one Cybersaw and one linear saw; 3. Accelerated operating cost savings
by decommissioning/redeploying two forklifts;
Comtech Inc, Fayetteville, NC.
4. The operating cost savings enabled the redeploying of five (5) experienced and valuable
workers in a very tight labor market.
