On-Site Expert Reviews & Recommendations
As part of Supply Technologies' overall value proposition, we perform Gemba Walks to analyze material flow, understand how products are being used and assembled, and make recommendations to increase productivity and reduce costs.
We seek to understand your entire operation — not just the assembly components we supply — to offer accurate assessments with detailed suggestions for improvement in the areas of efficiency, cost, quality, design, and process improvements. This allows us to:
- Make part consolidation & standardization recommendations
- Introduce new technologies
- Provide mechanical component design suggestions
- Increase the speed & ergonomics of assembly
- Address assembly challenges and historic warranty costs
How This Process Benefits You
Our global team of experts acts as consultants, reviewing your parts and processes with a focus on continuous improvement. Our diverse experience gives us the ability to recommend best practices from a range of industries to improve your assembly processes and application designs.

Whether it is improving the assembly process, identifying alternate low-cost parts, focusing on problematic areas that require more time to assemble, or addressing warranty claims, we’ll aid you in recognizing opportunities for improvement and cost savings. Benefits include:
- Assessments with recommendations for improvements
- Increased assembly efficiency
- Eliminating unnecessary parts
- Sharing best practices
- Reduced warranty claims
Ongoing Process, Continuous Support
Line walks are routinely performed to look for further opportunities to leverage our cross-industry experience.
