If you have ever questioned the value or need for hiring outside technical consultants, consider the many advantages. In many cases, the involvement of internal technical personnel in the same industry for many years can limit the effectiveness of the engineering department’s exposure to new and different technologies; therefore holding back a company’s progress. This is not puposeful or the fault of the internal engineers, it is simply the concept of familiarity confining alternate thought. This is a simple concept and well supports the fact that diversified experience is valuable and hiring a qualified consultant brings new ideas and is economically viable. The economics become even more viable when competing against overseas markets and focusing to keep manufacturing in house. It is in these scenarios where technological advantages, lean manufacturing, and yield improvements level the grounds in competition.
Finding experienced consultants is key to remaining competitive. In many cases the manufacturing knowledge of a qualified consultant can improve ROR immediately and improve yields significantly; thereby easily paying for itself. Let Advantek Engineering's vast technical experience go to work, you will quickly understand the importance of a new view. An effective approach chosen by many customers requiring a smaller investment upfront, is to use the services of a basic Manufacturing review. These reviews can take as little as a few days of consulting time and will yield specific focal points for process improvements and cost savings; including the focus on future manufacturing improvements including the focus on work cells.

Manufacturing Process Management and Analysis is the technology and methods used to define how products can be manufactured more efficiently with higher yields by analyzing alternate production line scenarios, improving assembly line efficiencies by refining and combining steps, reducing lead times and product changes, and streamlining the manufacturing process by utilizing modular tooling and flexible manufacturing.
Simply adding automation to the assembly line does not provide the best solution for increase production and improved yields. The analysis of the manufacturing process is essential to define the proper factory layout, work flow, tooling, and manufacturing optimization through Standard Operating Procedures. SCADA [Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition] is another important tool that Advantek Engineering Inc. utilizes to assure process capability and to indicate early requirements for Corrective and Preventive actions in support of companies Quality Management System.

The general concept of Lean Manufacturing is basic and focuses on the avoidance of waste: waste always exists in a process and no matter how refined the process…it can always be improved; therefore the expenditure of resources for anything other than the creation of value for the end customer is wasteful and therefore a possible target for improvement or elimination. Though the concept is basic, the method and means of implementation are complex and require a thorough understanding of the cause of waste; which in many cases starts with a Root Cause Analysis to determine what happened, why it happened, and reduce the likelihood it will happen again. Whether the cause is physical, human, or organizational…the most important step is the solution. Advantek Engineering Inc. has over 20 years’ experience working with small and large companies to address the causes of waste and to implement changes to reduce the waste and improve yields; thereby producing a more efficient and profitable business. Feel free to call or email us and we will be glad to review your needs and discuss ways to address waste and lost profits in your manufacturing process.

We are often contacted by companies and individuals seeking help in starting a new business, developing a new product, or improving a manufacturing process with the incorporation of automated machinery. In many cases, these new inquiries require outside or Venture Capital funding but lack the Technical Documentation to bring together the required Business Proposal and Feasibility Study. In some cases such studies determine that the proposed venture is not feasible, the investment is too risky, and the product will not yield the sales required to support the investment. In other cases these studies by knowledgeable engineering companies such as Advantek Engineering Inc.; will identify technology or design changes that will yield cost savings thereby reducing startup costs and further improving the probability of success. The importance of such thorough preparation affords security and confidence to entities looking to move into new and emerging markets.
