Optimize your processes . . .

 

In today’s highly-competitive environment, assembly process performance is absolutely crucial to profitability and market reputation. The fastest and most cost-effective route to streamlined, efficient assembly flow is to optimize and refine your processes!

Luckily our Advanced Process Lab (APL) can help with this by conducting a detailed process optimization audit, which equips you to meet targets for:

• Yield

• Quality

• Efficiency

• Throughput

The POA can also help you eliminate any BUGS in your PROCESS, deliver  cost savings and add additional revenue to your bottom line!  Read on to learn more . . .

So, how does a Process Optimization Audit work?

We follow a proven and established methodology during the audit. The steps and timing are agreed to by both parties and include:

• Review application including assembly processes, materials, quality standards

• Determine current assembly yield (and reliability) issues

• Perform process audit

• Document and present process audit findings

• Discuss findings and recommend changes to assembly process and/or materials

• With your approval, implement agreed Process Audit recommendations

• Review improvements

• Deliver final report

Less bugs, can lead to BIG savings!

Once you’ve optimized your processes, you can expect to enjoy some or all of the following benefits:

• Reduced material costs through lower rework and process optimization

• Reduced labor costs through lower rework and less unplanned maintenance

• Assembly efficiency increase by reducing assembly time and process steps, delivers:

  • Faster pay-off on capital equipment

  • Lower utility costs

  • Increased opportunity for equipment maintenance

  • increased equipment reliability

  • Reduced work in progress
