Increased Capacity

A & G Engineering maximizes a client's capacity by identifying potential bottlenecks such as equipment, shop loading/scheduling practices, and labor productivity. We have helped companies increase capacity while avoiding major expenses in capital equipment and plant expansions.

Facilities Planning

Our staff of specialists are experts in facilities planning. We help clients build new factories and distribution centers as well as plan additions to existing facilities. Our step-by-step approach keeps the client staff involved in the planning while providing continuous project status feedback.

Reduced Delivery Time

A & G Engineering has experience, in a wide variety of industries, helping clients to reduce their delivery time. Our clients achieve a competitive advantage by being able to provide shorter lead times for their customers. The effort to reduce lead times includes all facets from receipt of order to delivery to the customer. Improvements are made in all areas, both production and non-production. We have considerable success in improving areas such as Customer Service, Order Processing, and Engineering.

Improved On Time Delivery

Improved on time delivery begins with the receipt of each order. It is necessary to make a realistic prediction of where an order fits, based on plant capacity and previous commitments. The A & G Engineering approach is to install a system that accounts for current realistic capacity and performance before making a commitment to the customer.

A & G improves capacity and on-time delivery for a large manufacturer.

A & G Engineering was employed by a large manufacturer of custom engineered products to implement a program to improve productivity. Prior to engaging our services, the company focus was on meeting critical delivery dates, which often included late penalties.

A & G installed a work measurement system. This included the development of standard data sets and a method for quick application of job standards for each custom product.

A system to use the job standards for plant loading, scheduling, and making individual job assignments was implemented. This involved developing a tracking system for performance against standards. Training was provided to the management team on the use of standards and follow up as a tool for productivity improvement.

Production capacity more than doubled and on-time delivery significantly improved. As a result this company joined the ranks of satisfied A & G clients worldwide.
