To assure on-schedule performance, quality and reliability of a Turnkey Material Handling System, we use a 7-phase System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) composed of the following:

• Needs Analysis: Systems Analysis Group prepares the initial system design and layout with information from diverse, relevant sources.
• Functional Requirements Specification: Describes what overall, customer requires system functionality will be
• Engineering & Software Development: Actual preparation of necessary work and documentation for system as defined in the FRS and AP.
• Internal Testing & Quality Assurance: Prior to physically being on-site, internal testing against the QA Test Plan assures performance and reliability of all work developed in previous phases.
• On-Site Implementation & Testing: System is installed, calibrated and tested for compliance to the FRS and QA Test Plan.
• Turnover & Training: After installation and testing , total system validation for compliance to the ATP, training and documentation (operations and maintenance manuals are provided.
• On-going Customer Support: Off-site system support after system acceptance and W&H has left the site.

Working together with effective communication ensures a successfully implemented and on-schedule project. Each phase is therefore clearly defined and communicated among the:

• System Analysts
• Engineering Disciplines
• Component Supply
• And the Customer
