In any economic situation, but particularly with the tough economic conditions that exist today, having your product produced at the highest level of efficiency is absolutely necessary to remaining competitive.

At ShoeTemp Associates, all our our consultants come from the North American and European shoe industry, and are experienced in reducing wasted time, materials, machine, and operator time.

What is Efficiency Engineering?

Simply put, Efficiency Engineering is finding the best and most efficient way of manufacturing a quality product

ShoeTemp Associates consultants can work with a manufacturer to analyze and advise them in the best methods and equipment to produce a product, based on their particular situation (order size, staffing, facility, equipment, material handing, etc.).

Advantages to the Manufacturer

If you're a Manufacturer, using the most efficient production methods means that you can offer your customers a superior quality product at a competitive cost. When efficient engineering of our factory and production methods is applied along with Value Analysis of the product itself, the savings in time and money are significant.

Taking Efficiency Engineering one step further, and combining it with Value Analysis and efficient Production Control, you not only run our production in the most efficient way possible, you also eliminate wasted material, and reduce your in-process time to a minimum

This reduces your exposure to possible inventory damage due to climate conditions and possible pilferage.  It also reduces the time your money is tied up in material of in-process inventory that's stopped moving and is occupying valuable storage space in your facility.

Advantages to the Customer

As a Customer, placing orders with a factory that has been efficiency engineered offers better pricing, through their use of the most productive use of equipment and personnel.

If the factory is using efficient production methods as well as good Production Control methods and Value Analysis (as ShoeTemp Associates advocates) the lead times are reduced, and it allows you to get the best possible product with reduced lead times
