Facility Design and Material Handling Engineering can help your companyMaterial Handling Engineering

Our sound industrial engineering expertise, and our independence, ensures that we will develop the best, most cost effective internal design for your facility. This design will enable the highest accuracy, productivity and throughput at the lowest initial and ongoing costs.




TZA specializes in designing systems that use an appropriate balance of mechanization, technology and people to maximize performance. Our process is to work with you to engineer the optimum design and to provide hands-on implementation services, resulting in increased accuracy and quality with maximum Return On Investment.

 
System design. TZA can help you determine the appropriate level of material handling equipment, whether it is manual, mechanized or automated, for your business, your customers, your service commitments and your future growth.
RFID readiness assessment. We help you determine the optimized business process/workflow for the enhanced data collection capabilities enabled through RFID technology, to ensure maximum leverage or your investment, without over-investing in hardware or middleware.
Request For Proposal, negotiation and vendor selection. Our RFPs provide a detailed list of all components required to implement the chosen design, with estimated costs. A bid and negotiation process is used to assure that the appropriate equipment is purchased at the lowest cost. Our clients usually benefit from additional value-added components included in the price and savings of about 20% of what other firms have recommended.
Implementation and move-in support. TZA's supervision of the transition includes ensuring that the equipment is provided by contract, installed per specifications, and meets throughput and compliance testing for such things as speed, noise, sort rates, induction rates, etc.
Employee training and start-up assistance. We utilize system descriptions, detailed written procedures, CAD drawings and training documents in the classroom, as well as on the floor training sessions, to prepare each and every associate for the upcoming change. During the actual start-up, TZA engineers provide additional hands-on training and problem solutions, so that your transition remains invisible to your customers.
 
With TZA, you will know that the recommended design is based upon a solid understanding of your business and a roadmap for the future. It will be the appropriate, cost-justified solution based on sound industrial engineering principles.
