Material Flow Study

Material flow analysis, or MFA, is a systematic review of the flows and stocks of material that pass through a facility over time. Your customers operate on an ongoing basis, resulting in constant fluctuations to operations, equipment, and the materials on hand. Our warehouse material flow study and analysis offers material handling cost reduction and proper forklift utilization.

By exercising our warehouse material flow study, we are able to get to the bottom of any flow issues present in your operations facility. We look to better control the pathways used for your materials, dematerialize where appropriate, decrease energy usage, assess production speeds, and balance input and output schedules.
