Case Study: SMC Corporation

Friday, September 25th, 2009

 

SMC CORPORATION has long been a leader in pneumatic technology, providing industry with technology and products to support automation based on the guiding principle of “contributing to automation labor savings in industry.”

 

SMC Corporation’s offers a vast array of products engineered to meet applications in every market sector. From semiconductor to automotive, medical to petroleum, the company’s pneumatic products are designed to fit the unique automation requirements of its customers.

 

The company is currently relocating its headquarters from two adjacent Indianapolis locations to one significantly larger building in Noblesville. The new facility has 800,000 square feet, and four simultaneous moves will be conducted over 8 weeks in May and June.  One eighth of each manufacturing area will be moved over each of the eight weeks. The multi-phase warehouse move will be composed of four moves, which include the relocation of (1) Inventory, or “raw product” of 5,000 skids, which translates into about 225 tractor trailer loads of skids, (2) Rigging/Entities, which includes over 100 manufacturing pieces of heavy rigging machinery and equipment (3) Finished product of 2,000 skids and (4) the company’s 600 employees.

 

Teamwork is required on the part of Relocation Strategies, Inc. Inventory, manufacturing equipment, and entities are being coordinated by David Bayse of RSI, who compares his role to that of a wedding planner. He has to understand all the logistics and manage every detail of the warehouse move while Melissa Lamb Brown oversees the content move, which includes everything from furniture and chairs to work stations and file cabinets. 

 

RSI also assisted SMC by performing a cost analysis about whether it was in the company’s best interest to take its existing furniture, and concluded that it was best to leave it as an incentive for the purchase of the former location(s). RSI is coordinating furniture acquisition of nearly 500 new work stations.

 

SMC is confident that its new location will allow ample production capacity for equipment and employees, leading to future growth of the company.
