Supply Chain & Logistics Engineering
We optimize material movement, inventory, warehouse operations, and internal logistics to help manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce operational constraints, and support reliable production.
OVERVIEW
Connecting Logistics with Production Performance
At Design Systems, Inc., we help manufacturers improve how materials are stored, moved, and delivered throughout their operations. Our approach connects warehouse engineering, material flow analysis, inventory planning, and internal logistics to identify inefficiencies and develop practical solutions.
From optimizing warehouse layouts and replenishment strategies to evaluating material handling systems and automation opportunities, we design logistics solutions that support production requirements, improve operational efficiency, and accommodate changing demands.
WAREHOUSE ENGINEERING
Warehouse & Distribution Engineering
We design and optimize warehouse and distribution operations to improve storage utilization, material handling, and operational efficiency. Our team evaluates warehouse layouts, storage configurations, and material movement to identify constraints and develop practical solutions. By aligning warehouse design with operational requirements, we help improve productivity, streamline material handling, and support changing capacity needs.
MATERIAL FLOW
Manufacturing Material Flow & Plant Logistics
We analyze and optimize how materials move throughout manufacturing facilities, from receiving and storage to production workstations. Through Plan for Every Part (PFEP), replenishment planning, line-side delivery, and kitting strategies, we develop solutions that improve material availability and reduce unnecessary handling. Our approach connects internal logistics with production requirements to support consistent, efficient manufacturing operations.
Inventory Optimization
Supply Chain & Inventory Optimization
We evaluate inventory levels, material requirements, and replenishment strategies to help manufacturers improve inventory management and operational efficiency. By analyzing inventory policies, part usage, and material availability, we identify opportunities to reduce excess inventory while maintaining reliable production support. Our approach helps manufacturers balance inventory investment with operational needs and changing production demands.
Warehouse Automation
Warehouse Automation & Intralogistics
We evaluate warehouse automation and internal material handling technologies to improve the movement, storage, and retrieval of materials. From automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), we help manufacturers assess automation opportunities based on throughput requirements, facility constraints, and operational needs. Our focus is on developing practical automation concepts that integrate with existing warehouse and logistics operations.
WHY DSI
Connecting Logistics with Operational Performance
We look beyond individual warehouse and logistics processes to understand how material movement, inventory, and production requirements work together. By combining engineering analysis with practical operational insight, we identify bottlenecks, evaluate material handling strategies, and develop solutions that improve efficiency across the supply chain. Our integrated approach helps manufacturers streamline internal logistics, optimize inventory, and implement systems that support reliable, adaptable operations.
