Size:  Quality Aluminum Forge is building a 41,000 square foot manufacturing facility to produce aluminum parts.

 

Project description: John Barry & Associates completed a facility requirement definition, block layout and detailed manufacturing layout to consolidate multiple QAF facilities under one state of the art building.

 

Relevant: JBA worked with QAF to select the architect, engineers and general contractor to support the development of a build-to-suit facility in Orange, California. This involves heavy electric, plumbing, pit construction, material handling and advanced manufacturing tools.  QAF looks to speed the manufacturing process, improve quality and enhance overall productivity within this new facility.

 

Results:

• Increase productivity of space, process, procedure and methods throughout the QAF operation.

• This new design will add flexibility for added growth through pre planned new press locations and appropriate support equipment throughout. 

• QAF will save 15% of productive labor or more within the new operation.

• JBA’s competitive bid process assisted in saving over 20% on racking, rigging, cabling, furniture and other key vendors supporting the QAF program. 

• JBA’s scheduling and project management support saved QAF several months in the planning and construction process.
