Designing a Layout Change to the Manufacturing Operations at Matrix Design Group

Abstract

This proposal addresses the development of a new layout change to the manufacturing operations at Matrix Design Group. Matrix Design Group manufactures and sells innovative technology products in the mining and transportation industry that increase safety and productivity. With the projected increase in demand for safety equipment in coal mines, it is essential for Matrix Design Group to increase its production rate of equipment produced to supply this demand. An increase in inventory space is also required due to changes in ordering policy because of the COVID-19 global pandemic. This project aims to facilitate an increase in production to meet anticipated demand and to increase inventory space to hold an inventory safety stock.
