Value Analysis/Value Engineering

Design for manufacturing
Process development can also extend to earlier engagement with Design for Manufacturing input. We routinely act as a product design consultant. In this capacity we can provide input on design improvements targeted to address your drivers which may include:
- Reduce equipment cost
- Reduce product cost or part count
- Improve expected equipment quality and performance
- Increase processing speed and/or reliability
Levels of engagement
Process development for your application may include one or more of the following activities:
- Analysis of existing process and benchmarking
- Research on engineering principles and similar implementations
- Engagement of consultants and Pre Automation Solutions
- Proof-of-principle and prototyping
- Coordinated support of tests through our network of qualified suppliers
Engineering approach
We use a disciplined engineering process to find success in a systematic manner. Our view of the process as a system, rather than a collection of parts, allows us to do a more effective analysis of your process to identify its success factors. We have at our disposal tools such as:
- Six-sigma methodologies
- Design of experiments
- Process simulation
- Statistical analysis
- Risk analysis
