Consulting for Manufacturing

• Extensive experience in manufacturing machines, devices and the constant presence in the world of manufacturing has brought a comprehensive vision to identify technical improvements in machinery and processes.
• Joining our experience with our partners, we are able to provide solutions that go beyond the deployment of technologies and concepts such as Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, ERP, 6 Sigma, MES (Manufacturing Execution System), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). Which have been widely disseminated and used however not always bring the desired business outcomes and potentially possible.

Where we can help your company:

• Employment appropriate to the reality of each company technologies (automation machines and processes);
• Training and monitoring for behavioral changes (People are the most important in the reduction of losses in production process);
• Employment of best production practices (Reduced downtime, and improves identification of bottleneck points, measuring OEE, Leadership, Identification of major losses, studies to reduce adjustment time machine among others);
• Stabilization and process improvement with Business Process Management (BPM), TQM and Kaizen methodologies working from operational to strategic levels tools.
• Internal Marketing (internal communication within the company, promoting interactive communication between professionals and managers).
