Our intervention
The Progima team was tasked with developing a new industrial and logistics strategy to increase output by optimizing current manufacturing layout, reducing lean waste, and improving material flow. The layouts of the fabrication, assembly, and warehouse floor spaces were optimized to support the integration of new workstations, allowing PDG to maximize resource utilization and prepare for future growth. The PDG team is thrilled to put the recommended plan into action to help them reach their objectives.
