Manufacturing is core to Implementation Engineers, and since 1963 has been the DNA of the firm. Manufacturing is a complex process that involves inter-functional dependencies throughout the entire value stream, and as such our approach is integrative and cross-functional to ensure improvements address true root causes of existing challenges. In Manufacturing, the timely delivery of parts by the Supply Chain is crucial for maintaining optimal production line utilization. Similarly, any failures in quality systems can result in additional costs for the organization, such as warranty expenses and excessive re-inspection. If Maintenance does not have critical spares readily available when needed, it can prolong equipment downtime, disrupting manufacturing operations and affecting schedule attainment. Our approach to manufacturing is tailored around each specific client’s needs and situation, whether it is simply implementing improvements such as Lean, or more broadly working across a facility to improve profitability. The following is an overview and examples of what we implement specific to manufacturing across a range of varying objectives and scopes.
