CASE STUDY – Circor – Instrumentation Technologies
Project Explanation
To facilitate the relocation of manufacturing equipment
The challenges facing Circor and FPS were to move 200 pieces of heavy equipment, at least two times each; refinish floors; coordinate utilities; no more than four machines down at a time; no machine off line for more than eight hours; and consolidate a second facility into the layout.
Circor’s relentless efforts to lower costs, improve quality, and improve customer service levels were complicated by the fact that they specialize in governmentally-classified exotic metals.
