Advanced manufacturing is the application of manufacturing technologies to lower unit costs through improved flow, increased productivity, higher yields and reduced waste. By employing specific skills and tools we provide you can ensure the approval and ultimate success of your project. From
initial design and
justification through
project management/implementation, we can ensure your project's success while integrating manufacturing/distribution operations.
Project Justification: Get Your Projects Approved
- Determine the actual cost of a manufactured product or service
- Increase the efficiency and productivity of a manufacturing process
- Improve your manufacturing process or service with detailed modeling
- Reduce cost and increase capacity
- Get your projects approved by accurately calculating return-on-investment (ROI)
Planning for Successful Capital Projects
- Identify tasks & activities using project management software
- Learn how to lead a project and select the right project team members
- Integrate lean manufacturing and six sigma techniques to measure success
- Learn how to select the right vendors/integrators
- Reduce run off to improve efficiency
Concepts & Data Flows
- Share data through various software systems
- Save time by identifying data flows necessary for automatic operation
- Schedule for an operation
- Integrate a ERP/work order system with your project
- Measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
- Integrate control computers with factory computers
- Use MTConnect for data sharing
Implementation & Transition
- Develop and set performance benchmarks with your operational plan
- Define transition steps for the implementation of a project
- Establishing acceptance and buy-in for the project
- Hand-off to daily production control
- Learn problem-solving techniques to find root cause diagnostics
