Material Handling System Design

The proper material handling system design requires far more than merely looking at conveyor applications, storage racking and automation. Operational design should be a holistic evaluation of your distribution operation from receiving through shipping. TZA's core design philosophy is built around the idea that the optimal process should be designed first, with a careful evaluation of what equipment, systems, technology and automation can be leveraged to enable that ideal process supporting defined business objectives. Defining the optimal picking methodology, storage and picking fixtures, methods and procedures, and product flow is the first step. These requirements need to be data driven, through sound industrial engineering analysis, specific to your business and within the capability of your management teams skill set. Too often a "cookie cutter" design that worked for one of your competitors is used–with less than desirable results.

Once the proper process is defined, a measured evaluation of the various options at hand is required. What level of automation, if any, will deliver the best ROI? It takes years of experience, as well as an intimate familiarity with the various technologies and equipment available, to ensure that the highest level of creativity and objectivity are brought to bear for your project. This approach yields superior results in flexibility, scalability, throughput and overall return–on–investment.
