Containerization
Since 1995, MHSI has been a leading global provider of turnkey containerization services in the automotive industry. We have developed world class engineering expertise and technology (Operations.NET) in the areas of container program management, design, prototype, testing, production delivery, and lean manufacturing methodologies.
Our unique and broad-based material handling intellectual capital can easily be applied to any high volume complex manufacturing environment.
MHSI’s container management turnkey approach always starts with the material “point of use.” This well-defined approach enables us to get the right parts to the right place at the right time, every time. To meet and exceed our customers challenging material handling requirements, we have focused on the following elements to optimize the movement of the parts in the manufacturing supply chain:
- Operator Needs
- Ergonomic Considerations
- Product Considerations
- Part-to-Container Approach
- Data Library for Container Info
- Optimize Container Density
- Logistics Considerations
- Returnable vs. Expendable Analysis
- Accurate Container Fleet Sizing
- Alternative “what-if” analysis tool
