Controlling your manufacturing process

Understanding the process and the controls in place in your manufacturing operation can help by saving product wastage and reducing costs. We are ideally placed to help with this. For companies looking at using "Lean Manufacturing" techniques it is important to know what variation there is within production so that the value streams can be effectively mapped. There is a need to understand where waste is occurring. This could be due to inefficient weight control or variation in product consistency leading to handling issues. The use of statistical process control (SPC) can assist in bringing the control back into line.

It is also often necessary to have effective liaison between technical and non-technical staff to achieve the desired outcome, especially in smaller companies.
