PROCESS DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Even the best design in the world is essentially useless if you don't have a means to get it into your customers' hands when they want it at a price they are willing to pay. Of course not all processes are created equal and there is no such thing as "one size fits all." If you are new to the world of manufacturing you may feel overwhelmed wondering how you can fit into an increasingly "robot-centric" industrial machine when you may only need 100's if not 10's of pieces made per year. Have no fear, there is still a place for "hand made in America" and people eager to produce those types of specialty products. On the other end of the spectrum, perhaps you are already living in a world of 24/7 advanced automation and feeling the pinch of limited flexibility intrinsically designed into many processes such as these. Again, no reason to worry. Adding enhancements to existing lines or perhaps adjacent low volume work-centers to facilitate increased efficiency is within reach. In a less pleasant although increasingly familiar situation where there is a need for offshoring; it is very important to fully understand and define your critical process characteristics and perform a thorough risk and cost-benefit analysis before any final decisions are made.
