4. Manufacturing
Experience counts in manufacturing facility design and construction. Burns & McDonnell
has it — in fast-track projects, projects that push the limits of facility design,
and projects that make your achievements possible. Our engineers
come from manufacturing backgrounds and are familiar
with responsibilities on the job site. These experienced
personnel allow Burns & McDonnell to better assist
our clients because we understand the operations
of their business. Because of the amount of time in
various manufacturing facilities, our engineers can
efficiently gather equipment data and develop as-
built drawings as the first step in debottlenecking
projects for many plants. Our interactions with plant
operations and maintenance personnel promote
buy-in by all stakeholders and result in smoother
startups, higher asset utilization, reduced cost of
goods sold, improvements in yield and enhanced
customer service levels.
We use an integrated approach. With every discipline
under one roof, we streamline communication — making
the processes easier for all parties involved. When we keep
activities in-house, issues are addressed, decisions are made and
the doors are opened faster.

9. Lean Six Sigma Black Belts
deliver speed, quality,
cost savings and flexibility.
Making sustainable long-term improvements in your business is your goal — and ours.
Our Lean Six Sigma specialists, including four Master Black Belts and three Black Belts,
assist clients in improving operational agility, quality, cost and customer satisfaction as well
as taking a detailed look at the material and information flow of the facility itself. With years of
experience working in a wide cross section of manufacturing industries, our team members
use their broad knowledge of manufacturing and business operations to work across all
areas of your business to make measurable improvements.
We combine our experience in continuous improvement with that of our engineering and
design staff to create a truly lean and flexible manufacturing facility. The goal is to create
a facility that meets the needs of the process in the least amount of square footage —
designing the process, then the building. We work to develop a phased approach to the
renovation or construction, thus building only what is needed, when it is needed.
This releases funds that may have been used for building and infrastructure to be used
for the manufacturing process.

16. Using laser precision to
scan accurately, effortlessly.
Knowing what’s inside your plant is one thing. Having an accurate map of each
machine, system and transportation route — in an interactive 3-D format — is
quite another. Using laser scanning can improve workflows, drive efficiencies,
improve safety and mitigate risk. Our professionals capture point data that
does more than confirm what you have in place. The information can reveal
possibilities for what could or should come next through overhauls, replacements
or expansions. Whether it’s a site survey for project planning or lean modeling
of a manufacturing process, a laser scanner’s ability to capture millions of points
in a matter of minutes allows for a safe and extremely accurate method for
collecting data with minimal interference with existing operations.
