Program Management

Successfully implementing a program or launching a new process requires the knowledge to take advantage of opportunities to shorten timing, and to plan against the potential risks ahead.

Let us assist you by adding our strong knowledge of the risks and opportunities that exist with any casting engineering business program.
 
Benchmarking of Manufacturing Processes

The most effective way to reduce life cycle and total costs is to fully understand your process, and how it compares to others. Examining all the system variables and attributes of a casting process can reveal opportunities for improvement.

We can provide an unbiased analysis of your processes and can help you in assessing their performance with regard to industry standards and practices.
 
Data Mining / Analysis

Often times the answers to problems can be found by looking at information & data that's already being generated today by your operations. The key to finding these answers is data mining. With an in-depth understanding and analysis of several sources of information and their inter-relationship, surprising results can be obtained.

Information is a powerful tool, if you know how to fully utilize it. We can help you shine a new light on your seemingly un-informative data.
 
Team Problem Solving Using The 8D Method

Complex problems often require the involvement of many functions in order to reach a resolution and implement a corrective action. Investigation is the first step toward finding the root cause, and this is best done with the input of all affected by the problem.

Let our successful experiences of implementing this approach assist you and your organization in resolving complicated issues.
 
Prototype Parts

A critical part of new program development timing is prototype development and acquisition. With a more seamless transition from prototype to production parts, launch problems can be avoided and timing greatly reduced from concept to finished product.

We will obtain your prototype parts quickly and also assist you in implementing the production part and process.
