Industrial Engineering
IDS Engineering offers a full range of industrial engineering services
such as engineering the design, improvement, and installation
of integrated systems – people, materials, and energy. Other industrial
engineering services include:
Facility Location Analysis is an engineering service that provides
both quantitative and qualitative geographical analysis of
asset locations. Assets can include manufacturing facilities,
distribution operations, suppliers, equipment, etc.
Facility Layout Design is exceptionally important to a company.
Since an organization normally must live with the layout for
several years, any mistakes in the actual layout can be very
costly to the organization. Therefore careful planning is of
primary importance. IDS brings to your team modern industrial engineering
techniques for the internal layout of manufacturing and warehouse
facilities.
Material Flow Analysis involves the process of effectively and
efficiently designing or utilizing existing handling equipment to minimize
operational costs. Over the lifetime of a facility the cost
of material handling can account for from 30% to 95% of total
production costs. A material flow analysis can often provide
quick and significant cost savings to a company without capital
investment. These savings can be realized in terms of increased
capacity/throughput or reduced costs on the Income/Expense
statement.
Computer Simulation Modeling protects your business by predicting
the impact of new business ideas, rules, and strategies before
implementation. This occurs offline without causing disruption
to your business or service to your customers.
Supply Chain Analysis and Optimization from the vendors through
to the customer can be engineered by IDS. MasterPlan-LE is
a software tool developed by IDS that intelligently integrates
past performance with future business requirements to simplify
ongoing strategic decision making.
Economic Analysis, or Return on Investment (ROI) analysis, is
a core competency of IDS. Our approach is taken from the perspective

Product Slotting and Profiling engineering services offer customers
an optimal evaluation of storing products in the proper place
and in the proper equipment. The analysis looks at cubing,
cost of capital, cost of space, and order demands to ensure
you minimize investment and maximize ROI.
CADD and 3-D Rendering Services provide photo quality and realistic
perspectives of conceptual designs. CADD is a powerful tool
to ensure precise tolerance design.
Equipment Specification & Bid Management is accomplished through
a systematic 9-Stage process for defining, developing, and
implementing competitive bid specifications. This procedure
