CONTEXT

LPM is a family-run company based in Boisbriand, specializing in closed die-forging, stamped part production and production line integration. LPM’s success is driven by a visionary president and an experienced, competent and dynamic team. They have customers in all types of manufacturing sectors. LPM’s DNA is to be of service to its customers.

CHALLENGES

LPM had a potential for growth and investment in more efficient machines that no longer corresponded to the structure and space of the current building. Internal flows were degraded and there was storage outside the building.

ASSIGNMENT

The collaboration with Merkur stemmed from the need to ensure that no important elements were overlooked in the new layout.

LPM needed to optimize flow and space, eliminate waste and define a more efficient work organization.
