Business Capabilities Statement

IE Workplace Solutions Key technical support for production-based businesses

Planning the work, working the plan

and improving how your work works

What motivates us

Your workplace is the lifeblood of your business. If all of your engines aren’t

running at peak performance, your business and your bottom line suffer.

Competitive and financial pressures are driving leaner and more efficient

workplaces that need constant improvement and refinement.

Efficiencies are lurking everywhere in your business – your operations, your

processes, and in your projects. Investments in equipment and facilities are

essential but “doing capital projects right the second time” isn’t an option.

Winning the race means being leaner, more flexible and nimble, and able to

execute better than others. It’s not only the strongest that survives, not

only the most intelligent, but also the most responsive to change.

Heavy workload but light on resources?

Chances are, you are like most businesses – your time and money are finite

and decreasing, yet your needs are increasing and seemingly infinite. You

always manage to see the glass “half full” even though it feels like you’re

running on empty.

You need a key teammate capable of taking the handoff and carrying the

extra weight. You’ve looked for outside support that really understands

production, but finding a resource hasn’t been easy.

At IE Workplace Solutions, we understand completely!

We’ve been there too.

It’s tough competing in a changing world

Our Value to Your Business

We’re an outside partner with the inside knowledge of operational,

workplace, and project best practices. Regardless of the type or scale of

your project, we have the talent needed to keep you in the game.

Our team has over 100 years of experience and is purpose-built for

lean organizations. And, we’ve worked for some of the most respected

companies in America. Our commitment to integrity, and a strong

work ethic, provides the basis for all we do. As part of your team, our

work will always be in your best interest.

We feel we bring special value to project work because we consider the

whole system. Look under the surface of any project and you’ll see the

symbiotic relationship between the people, operations, buildings, and

the project itself. When all the parts work in harmony, not only is the

finished project more successful, but often more profitable too.

IE Workplace Solutions is a small, certified minority business enterprise dedicated to the needs of production-based businesses.

Corporate and plant-level lifecycle support We’ve walked in owner shoes before!

Competing in a changing world is tough! Businesses light on resources need ways to "level the playing field."

We support the processes and places that make your work happen and

deliver solutions that are technically sound, realistic, and good for the

business. Whether you need bootstrap shop floor support or major

facility project management, we can help!

Operations Analysis and Discovery

Global competition is forcing businesses to examine all aspects of their

operations and work. While you know areas of your business that

need improvement, several more remain undiscovered − lurking and

deep-rooted. You need objective feedback about your work efforts

and recommendations as to how they can be accomplished more

economically and productively.

By combining good practices and proven techniques like Lean Six-Sigma,

we can help you identify the opportunities and root out the problem

areas. We team with our clients to assess their work efforts to reclaim

the extra money that’s been lost or hidden. We’ll take a hard look at the

value your assets and activities are generating.

Key Business Services

IE Workplace Solutions LLC offers Operations and Project Consulting services and not Professional Engineering services.

Manufacturing Design and Improvement

Manufacturers must always fix problems, modernize, and streamline.

Planning and improving are as important as dealing with the daily

grind and competing business demands. Help is needed to enhance

productivity, improve working conditions, and to free up capacity for

growth. Likewise, support is needed for operations planning, process

and production design, and equipment matters.

We’re flexible − projects come in all shapes and sizes and one shoe

definitely doesn’t fit every situation! The “rubber meets the road” on

the shop floor and we feel as relaxed there as in the executive office.

Whether it’s strategic planning or executing a process workaround,

we’ll help you gain more ground and keep you in the game!

Facility Planning and Plant Layout

Even though equipment and facilities are major fixed assets on the

balance sheets of most businesses, only minor attention is given to

workplace layout as a source of efficiency. Configuration significantly

affects operating costs and overall efficiencies. Analysis of operational

needs begins long before building design is considered. Getting the

people, operations, and infrastructure working in harmony enhances

long-run performance.

Whether you’re looking to relocate or retool an existing facility, or even

if you’re not sure yet, we’ll weigh how your configuration is shaping

value. With new layouts often leading to higher levels of efficiency and

profits, the choice seems easy. We can strategize and optimize your

workplace and find the hidden monies in your existing facility plans.

Project Planning and Management

The delivery of business goals are realized by the success of projects.

They’re becoming larger, more integrated, and more complex, and

they have larger potentials for success or failure. Even the smallest

business can spend millions of dollars on key projects. More planning

efforts mean less problems. Disciplined project management controls

spending and improves results.

We thoroughly understand the pressures of complex project work.

Compounded by fast-track schedules, tight budgets, and existing job

duties, projects can overwhelm your internal resources. With little

room for error and fewer resources to rely on, we can help you deliver

projects on time and within budget. Whether it’s leading an upgrade

or managing a major capital project, we can assist!
