ENGINEERING CONSULTING

Manufacturing Consulting

"Making the right decision early on in a project saves money, consulting is worthwhile"

When product design is fixed and only manufacturing processes are to be improved. A mass-produced units are developed for easy manufacture. With low volume production, development time often runs out before the design is optimised. After the development stage this service can improve the effectiveness of processes, equipment, work flow and floor layout. This doesn’t always mean huge investment in new equipment. Frequently better storage and streamlined workflow can save hundreds of hours in labour costs. Where specialist machinery is required, it can often be simply constructed, reliable and made with stock parts for easy maintenance.

Development Consulting

Improvements in both product design and production process. Most valuable when a newly developed product is transitioning in to production. During development, awkward processes and complicated assembly are tolerated because the main focus is functionality. If these processes are carried over into full production, we soon find other company’s outpacing the developer with more efficient methods of construction.
With this service we modify the design to suit the most appropriate form of manufacture and develop bespoke production methods. We make sure our customers have the most streamlined production methods from the outset, keeping them ahead of competitors.
