   Material Flow Analysis
  Material Flow Analysis
Material Flow Analysis (MFA) is a quantitative procedure for determining the flow of materials and energy through the economy. It uses Input/Output methodologies, including both material and economic information. It is an accounting system that captures the mass balances in an economy, where inputs (extractions + imports) equal outputs (consumptions + exports + accumulation + wastes), and thus is based on the laws of Thermodynamics.
Material Flow Analysis Phase 1 - Static Analysis
 
We develop material flow diagrams of your facility that rapidly calculate the distance, time and cost of material moves. You can quickly assess the impact of part locations, container capacities, aisle widths, demand profiles and material handling. Since the diagrams are automatically generated off an AutoCAD™ layout of your facility, evaluation of multiple scenarios is far simpler, helping you to quickly narrow down options.
 
We use Flow Planner™ (a product of Proplanner Inc, www.proplanner.com) to analyze material flow paths and indirect labour utilization.
   
Material Flow Analysis Phase 2 – Logistics Simulation
 
Once an optimal configuration has been identified in Phase 1, we develop a detailed 3-D logistics simulation of the facility to visualize and validate the proposed configuration.
