Optimize Your Workflow to Improve Your Bottom Line

Rising costs have taken a toll on all businesses in the last decade. But the good news is, opportunities to reduce expenses can be found at each step of your manufacturing flow!

Wasted movements, suboptimal layouts, overprocessing, and more can all eat into your profits.

You know your products, people, and facility inside and out. With the help of Polaris MEP’s lean specialists, you can see your whole organization with new eyes, break down perceived boundaries, and perfect your operations from beginning to end.

The manufacturing improvements have saved Contech over $50,000 and increased the investment in our workforce by $20,000. With our out-of-pocket investment of $10,000, the return on investment to our company is $7 to $1. That ROI helped our organization to reinvest in the company.

How We Help

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Polaris MEP helps you and your team reduce waste to reduce costs.

Years of experience in manufacturing help us identify the hidden sources of waste in your processes.

We’ll train your team to eliminate non-value added activities (such as defects, waiting and extra processing) from your process. Through a continuous improvement mindset, workers will find ways to minimize waste on an ongoing basis.

EFFICIENT DESIGN

Layouts can almost always be improved, even those that seem perfect. Expenses can be reduced through improved efficiency in

  • process flow,
  • material handling techniques,
  • distribution,
  • safety protocols,
  • ergonomics, and
  • machinery upgrades. 

Our experts work with you to evaluate, design and implement changes to improve manufacturing end-to-end.

EXPAND CAPACITY

Maximize results without heavy headcount increases. Our project managers and vetted third party resource partners can help you increase capacity, freeing up your team to focus on your area of expertise and production.

 “I have limited bandwidth as an engineer. Having Polaris MEP as a partner allowed us to have our resources work on other projects that also contributed to generating revenue.”

– Brian Malloy, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence
