are embarking on the design and implementation of a new facility or wanting to make improvements to your
current operation, Bastian has the experience, systems, and methodology to design a world-class solution for you.
Budgetary Pricing: $10,000 - $50,000 USD
Engineering Survey™: 2-5 Days
The Bastian Engineering Survey™ is a tested method of assisting you benchmark your operation. Lasting about
2-5 days, Bastian will conduct a review of your operation and offer some alternative concepts for consideration. The
goal of the Engineering Survey™ is to determine what
opportunities are feasible and to decide if further study is justified. The Bastian Engineering Survey™ allows Bastian
engineers to use their vast experience and views into “best-in-class” operations to assist you in improving your business.
Budgetary Pricing: $2,000 - $5,000 USD
Engineering Simulation
Computer simulation can provide many benefits as part of a material handling system design including:
- Validating the flow, rates, layout, and sub-system dependencies
- Providing the ability to ask “what if?” questions to refine performance
- Identifying system bottlenecks
- Providing operational insight
- Making and evaluating system design changes
- Insuring that the system will meet requirements
Simulation makes this evaluation possible before making the capital expenditure associated with system
implementation. Bastian engineers use a proven approach to building a computer simulation models proposed
material handling systems that will optimize the final design.
Supply Chain Slotting Analysis
Having a hard time determining where to locate product based on popularity? Let our Engineers perform
a slotting analysis. A Slotting Analysis will tell you which of your products move faster and where you should
place them in your facility to minimize time out the door to your customer.
Supply Chain Ergonomics
Safety and efficiency are the two most important factors in ergonomics to consider when designing
your facility layout. The easier a job is to do, the more efficient a worker will be thus gaining
productivity. With that said, Bastian's philosophy is that the safer a job is, the more productive
your team will be.
