Production Operations Management
Afinitus provides consulting, implementation and education services to help production and manufacturing operations consistently deliver products on time, eliminate chaos on the shop floor, lower costs and promote secure and satisfied workers.
To accomplish this, Afinitus uses Theory of Constraints’ Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) and Simplified Drum-Buffer-Rope (S-DBR) scheduling, and promotes Lean Manufacturing tools to eliminate constraints in the process and streamline the operation.
We provide shop management with the tools they need: a stable, clear and detailed schedule that provides priority visibility to everyone, seamless integration with homegrown legacy systems, MRP II or ERP systems, and most importantly, the culture change necessary to energize and sustain improvement on the shop floor.
Afinitus is without peer with its record of success in industries including microelectronics and semiconductors, printed circuit board fabrication, sheet metal operations, composites, ceramics, machine shops, injection molding, vehicle and aircraft MRO back shop operations, and more.
