Industrial Engineering & Optimization Studio
Adding the "HOW" to the "WOW"
We focus on the design, improvement, and implementation of business systems and processes that require the coordination of technology, raw materials, labor, and financial resources. We leverage mathematics and physical sciences together with principles of engineering analysis to evaluate and predict the outcome of current and proposed business processes. We ensure organizations thrive by eliminating operational waste, enhancing service delivery, and increasing production capacity while minimizing operating and capital expenditures.

Capacity Study
Simply stated, Capacity Planning determines your ability to meet a specified demand over a period of time. Because demand can be a fickle thing and shift from time to time, capacity must be adjusted to meet demand. Otherwise, the demand is filled by your competitor, and that's not good. Adjustments may include adding additional shifts, outsourcing, and/or investment in additional capacity. MMG studies your operation and determines your current capacity and your ability to flex and meet the demand. We also utilize capacity studies to help you set quotas to motivate your employees to stay on track.
Method Study
Capacity Study
Capacity Study
Is your operation humming along and working as efficiently as it can?. How do you know? MMG will subject your operation's work processes to systematic, critical scrutiny to make them more effective and/or more efficient. By doing so, we can help you achieve productivity improvement., thereby reducing cost. Originally designed for the analysis and improvement of repetitive manual work, this approach can be used to elevate efficiency for all types of activities at all levels of your organization.
Time Study
Capacity Study
Constraint Optimization
What exactly is time anyway? In business, it equates to money. The amount of time it takes to get work done has a direct correlation to profitability - especially if your competitor can do it faster than you. MMG uses time studies to measure this critical metric. By understanding the current amount of time utilized for each task in your operation, leveraging Method Study, and recommending the right changes, we can help you optimize your operation.
Constraint Optimization

Constraint Optimization
Whoa! This sounds pretty complicated. It can be without this approach, which, essentially, finds the most optimal solution for a problem given multiple constraints. Through this methodology, MMG can maximize benefits (e.g. revenue, profit, production) or minimize cost (e.g. expense, waste). A great example is employee scheduling in an operation that operates continuously and must create weekly schedules for their employees.
Simulation Modeling
Constraint Optimization
Simulation Modeling
MMG experts can create and analyze a digital prototype of a physical model to predict its performance in the real world. That's important because if you are a designer and operator, we can help you understand whether, under what conditions, and in which ways a process could fail and what throughput or service level can be expected. And that's pretty cool.
