Process Improvement
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Reviews
Review parts and assemblies for manufacturability before production, with attention to process choice, tolerances, tooling, fixturing, fabrication, machining, and practical shop-floor constraints.
Kaizen Events
Focused improvement efforts aimed at specific production problems, bottlenecks, wasted motion, setup issues, quality concerns, or workflow inefficiencies.
Process Mapping
Document and evaluate how material, information, and work actually move through a process so delays, handoffs, rework, and unnecessary steps become visible.
Time Studies
Measure actual task and cycle times to establish realistic standards, identify bottlenecks, balance work, and support staffing or equipment decisions.
Equipment Selection
Independent help evaluating equipment based on the actual process, production requirements, available space, labor, maintenance needs, and return on investment.
SOP Development
Create clear, usable standard operating procedures that reflect how the work should actually be performed on the floor.
Workplace Organization
Improve workstation layout, material placement, tooling access, storage, and overall organization so operators spend less time searching, walking, and fighting the process.
