Productivity Solutions, A New WIRE-Net / Manufacturing Works Member
Productivity Solutions, founded in 2002, prides itself on not fitting the ‘typical’ process improvement consulting firm mold. Their team is composed of degreed engineers who see the big picture and know what improvement tools to use and when. Services offered include routing & BOM maintenance, facility & workstation layout design, material handling design, ergonomics, process documentation, capacity modeling, Lean Manufacturing, Six-Sigma projects, and much more.
Productivity Solutions is proud to be the outsourced Industrial engineer for local A&E firms, large, mid-sized, and small manufacturing companies. Their team provides engineering services for companies that cannot afford or may not need a full-time engineer. Productivity Solutions also provides onsite mentorship services to young engineers or technicians to build your in-house talent to take on any project.
Productivity Solutions is a seasoned industrial engineering consulting firm with a successful track record. Many clients have become repeat customers. For example, Corning Glass which they have worked with for over 15 years. They worked in tandem with Corning to create their World Wide LCD Glass capacity model which they used to identify bottlenecks and determine how many new plants or processing lines were needed to meet forecasted demand. Other notable projects by Productivity Solutions include a 5 year site expansion plan for Charter Steel in Cuyahoga Heights and a $70M site expansion plan for Lubrizol in Painesville. Productivity Solutions is now focused on assisting small to midsized companies in NEO.
Productivity Solutions designed their own commercial grade production reporting software specifically designed for small and medium sized manufacturers. “LeanOps” collects production data and displays over 60 preformatted productivity and scrap reports such as, OEE, equipment utilization, top downtime causes, top scrap causes, throughput rates, operator efficiencies and many other KPOV matrices.
Owner Thomas Perrego is an experienced manufacturer who has worked his way through the ranks from a shop floor engineer to assistant plant manager which gives him the ability to relate to manufacturers and provide them with solutions that fit their unique needs. His slogan is “It is our job to make your job easier.”
Productivity Solutions greatly values their WIRE-Net Membership. “The networking mixers and Nuts & Bolts Bash are my favorite events to attend. I love meeting fellow manufactures and hearing their stories. I’m excited to get more involved with the group and participate in Lunch ‘n’ Learns in the upcoming year,” says Thomas Perrego, Owner.
