If we could show you a way to increase your job security,
make more money, improve productivity and quality, would you
invest the time to listen to our strategies?
That's exactly what one Northwest Ohio Engineering Consulting
firm, Industrial Engineering Technologies, is doing. By showing
tangible results with numerous manufacturing facilities in
a myriad of industries, they're helping companies develop
strategies to improve their ability to compete globally in
today's competitive environment.
IET TEAM Professionals help meet tightening customer requirements
by producing results that are cost-effective, technically
sound and are adaptable to a variety of manufacturing environments.
They work with clients to increase productivity, flexibility,
and their competitive edge. An important area that requires
team effort to maximize potential benefits is Just-In-Time
manufacturing. J-I-T affects every aspect of the production
process. The main thrust behind this philosophy is to rid
all obstacles hindering the smooth flow of products through
the facility.
Another segment in which the IET team excels is the reduction
of costly expenses and claims for workers' compensation. By
redesigning the manufacturing line to eliminate repetitious,
inefficient processes, your employees' health is protected,
as well as the company's bottom line.
According to Tim Stansfield, P.E., President, IET's unique
approach combines the client's product/process expertise with
the IET's proven knowledge and experience in developing manufacturing
to produce immediate and long-term benefits. To remain competitive
in today's manufacturing environment, flexibility, reliable
planning, and accurate, prompt decision-making must be built
into the management function to be successful. "Helping companies
develop result-oriented systems is where the best opportunity
for growth is. It's exciting to create solutions that produce
both immediate and long-term results that really make a difference,"
Stansfield stated.
The IET formula is based upon creating a project team which
interfaces with key personnel from top management, engineering,
manufacturing and material control. Project teams then meet
to discuss progress, jointly develop alternatives and review
results. IET provides the expertise in analysis of current
manufacturing practices, as well as the creativity to develop
new systems.
Many clients find it refreshing to be working hands-on with
the same team members form start to finish. "We aren't so
big that once senior management has reviewed the scope of
work and the proposed alternative options, you'll never see
our top people again," Stansfield stressed.
IET grew out of the desire to provide affordable, effective
solutions which utilize the extensive technical knowledge
of the principals and officers of the firm, Timothy C. Stansfield,
P.E., President and William T. Proctor, P.E. Executive Vice
President. They joined forces in 1990 and have built a staff
of highly technical and capable personnel, who now emulate
the IET team philosophy.
