Design Basis
We analyze historical sales patterns, cross-referencing appropriate industry trends, to establish appopriate sales throughput targets by revenue center, correlating annual sales to more useful weekly and hourly timeframes.
Process Reengineering
Through detailed process analysis and work measurement techniques, we engineer ideal work methods and job design to reduce non-value-added steps and achieve better work balance across team members, enhancing platform productivity.
Capacity Matrix
We carefully calculate capacity requirements to rightsize the facility design, analyzing workload forecasts and resource demands to ensure optimal space utilization, streamlined resources, and scalability for future growth.
Concept Planning
We establish platform requirements, then iterate several concept sketches showing alternative combinations of flow, job design, and adjacencies to rapidly evaluate potential design directions, setting the foundation for a successful deteiled design.
Equipment-Tech Application
“The technology you use impresses no one. The experience you create with it is everything.” – Sean Gerety
We agree with Sean, so we carefully research and recommend equipment and technology that optimize processes, boost performance, and improve worker and customer experiences.
Workstation Design
We develop optimized workstation design drawings to enhance ergonomics, capacity, and efficiency. Whether fully custom, buyout, or somewhere in between, we create effective designs that balance cost with performance.
Planograms
Anything new requires instructions, so we document the location and quantity of all smallwares, ingredients, and packaging to explain the operation of our workstation designs.
Facility Layouts
We create schematic drawings showing the location and relationship of equipment, workstations, technology, and other functional elements, essential for visualizing the space, documenting design intent, and evaluating impact.
Mockup Simulations
In order to test innovative new designs, we build and test a full-scale mockup of the new design, trystorming solutions, refining design details, facilitating subjective walk-thru reviews, and demonstrating KPI performance potential.
Implementation Support
To ensure fidelity to design intent and the realization of impact, we provide cross-functional support throughout the handoff process, consulting at key stages of the implementation process.
