Production optimisation

The same product at lower cost, with fewer rejects

For a product already in production: we find where unnecessary cost sits, where rejects are created and where lead time is being burned.

What you get An optimisation plan Process, method, material, design and supplier

The product is being made, but the process leaks

The signs that call for optimisation:

A map of the current process Exactly where time, material and money are burned through production.
Root-cause analysis of rejects Whether the problem is the design, the material, the method or the inspection.
Ranked recommendations By size of impact against implementation effort, so you know where to start.
Method and supplier alternatives Where a change of technology or supplier changes the picture materially.

1 Gather the data Files, quantities, costs, reject rates and lead times.
2 Analyse the process From the design through to final quality control.
3 You get an optimisation plan With what to implement first and the saving expected from each step.

The problem is one part, not the process A cost reduction review focuses on the part itself. Details →
You have not started producing yet A production launch builds the process right from the start. Details →
You need an opinion on the design An engineering review examines the design in depth. Details →

We produce with another supplier - is this relevant?

Yes. The analysis is independent, and in many cases the recommendations are implemented at your existing supplier.

What data do you need from us?

Files, quantities, unit cost, reject rates and lead times. The more data there is, the more precise the recommendations.

Does this mean stopping production?

No. The analysis runs alongside ongoing production.

What if the process is fine and there is nothing to improve?

We will tell you so. That is also an answer, and it is worth having from an independent party.
