Process Improvement
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Reviews
Review parts and assemblies for manufacturability before production, with attention to process selection, tolerances, tooling, fixturing, fabrication, machining, assembly, and practical shop-floor constraints.

Kaizen Events
Focused manufacturing improvement efforts aimed at specific production problems, bottlenecks, wasted motion, setup issues, quality concerns, workflow inefficiencies, and recurring process problems.

Process Mapping
Document and evaluate how material, information, and work actually move through a manufacturing process so delays, handoffs, rework, queues, and unnecessary steps become visible.

Time Studies
Measure actual task and cycle times to establish realistic production standards, identify bottlenecks, balance workloads, evaluate capacity, and support staffing or equipment decisions.

Equipment Selection
Independent support evaluating manufacturing equipment based on the actual process, production requirements, available space, labor, maintenance needs, utilities, capacity, and return on investment.
Isostatic Pressing & Powder Processing
Experienced support for cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and warm isostatic pressing (WIP) applications involving ceramic and metal powders. BrewerMade can assist with process evaluation, equipment selection, tooling considerations, cycle development, material handling, troubleshooting, and production improvement.
SOP Development
Create clear, usable standard operating procedures that reflect how the work should actually be performed on the manufacturing floor and help improve consistency, training, quality, and process control.

Workplace Organization
Improve workstation layout, material placement, tooling access, storage, visual organization, and overall workflow so operators spend less time searching, walking, waiting, and fighting the process.
