Aviation
Size: 80,000 square foot manufacturing and processing center.
Project Description: JBA has completed multiple projects for Thales Avionics. These have included the design of high-volume manufacturing lines, high-pile distribution centers, office layouts and major migration programs.
Relevant: Several of JBA assignments have allowed them to grow within current space over 30% above their original plan. Other projects have driven over 10% savings in productive labor expense.
Result:
-
Thales Avionics has enjoyed outstanding results in real estate cost reduction, increased space utilization, advancement in labor utilization and overall quality improvement.
Size: 160,000 square feet of manufacturing and processing operations.
Project Description: JBA re-engineered and relocated this petrochemical valve manufacturer from Costa Mesa, California to Irvine, California. This involved complex manufacturing, H factor room development, and complex installation.
Relevant: JBA’s support brought the best practices of industrial engineering and process flow enhancement to Eaton. JBA also completed this important project on a fast-track schedule that exceeded Eaton’s top management expectations.
Result:
-
JBA’s re-engineering effort increased space utilization by 10% and increased manufacturing throughput by over 5%. JBA’s proactive project management and construction supervision saved over $250,000 in the overall process.
