Technical Assist can help accelerate your production process development
cycle and vastly improve product introduction cycles. Using a modeling
approach, we leverage your people's product specific knowledge with our process
development skills.
We can also help you re-develop existing processes to improve manufacturing
costs and performance. Often we find that with moderate capital investment
and changing operational techniques, major improvements can be
obtained.
Integrating the best elements of Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Theory of
Constraints, Process Reengineering and Flow Manufacturing techniques and
methodologies, we design processes that precisely meet your needs and
requirements.
Using the most technically sophisticated tools and current manufacturing
process design methodologies we can help you achieve dramatic
improvements. Payoffs are often measured in days rather than years.
Key Benefits
- Reduce product introduction cycle by up to 70%
- Reduce process development cycle from months and years to weeks
- Develop understanding of true process capacity
- Plan incremental process changes to manage production output as volume
ramps up
Capabilities
Technical Assist can provide a full range of services from augmenting
your company's internal capabilities to providing a complete turn-key
solution.
- Manufacturing Process Analysis and Design
- The best elements of Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Theory of
Constraints, Process Reengineering and Flow Manufacturing techniques
and methodologies are carefully crafted to develop custom solutions
specifically tailored to your company's needs and requirements. Solutions
that are simple, easy-to-understand, easy-to-manage and provide the
