The engineering and assembly sector is at the forefront of many of the tech-driven changes that have transformed the business world over the past two decades.
Engineering businesses have needed to rethink their business models to thrive - and will need to continue doing so to survive. That doesn’t necessarily mean a revolution, but it does require an evolution. A strategic plan to move the business forward, keep pace with industry changes and make the most of new opportunities.
We specialize in helping businesses in the engineering and assembly sector to implement complex transformations to achieve their organizational goals. Our team of experienced consultants understands the unique challenges faced by companies in this sector, from complex assembly processes to tight production schedules. We work closely with our clients to develop customized solutions that optimize their organization and operation to drive long-term success. By streamlining processes and eliminating unnecessary steps, we enable them to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall quality.
Our first step in any engagement is to thoroughly understand every aspect of your value stream. This includes analyzing production processes, supply chain management, and quality control procedures. Based on this analysis, we develop a comprehensive plan that outlines specific areas for improvement and establishes key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress.
Whether it’s reassessing your operating model, reimagining your supply chain, or making the most of digital, our consultants work closely with your internal team to implement the plan, providing guidance and support every step of the way. We focus on empowering employees to take ownership of the process improvements, providing training and education to ensure everyone is aligned with the agreed goals and objectives. By focusing on waste elimination, process optimization, and continuous improvement, we empower your business and your people to achieve their goals and drive long-term success.
The manufacturing industry is under ever more constant pressure to produce better goods more quickly and at lower cost. With increasing global competition and the economic challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, industries must take huge leaps forward in streamlining operations, re-tooling plants, and innovating how they design and build products in order to boost or even simply maintain profit margins.
Across all industries, manufacturers who apply lean management principles enjoy significant competitive advantages in getting products to market, reducing costs and meeting customer expectations. Most commonly, we think of introducing lean into an existing plant or manufacturing facility, but there is also the possibility of applying Lean thinking when an organization has the opportunity to build a brand-new facility.
“while the cost of steel and cement are making headlines, the less publicized failures in the management of construction projects can be disastrous. We are not talking about just materials, methods, equipment, or contract documents. We are talking about how we work to deliver successful capital projects and how we manage the costs of inefficiency.”
The production facility layout is as important as the technology it houses and has a significant impact on business performance. The layout must be modified and improved continuously. Only then can the waste associated with a poor layout be eliminated or reduced. Still, changes to the existing layout are rarely taken into consideration when planning for production improvements. Instead the focus is on processes, materials and people, and the layout is most often out of scope.
