Project Approach for NPI & R&D of New Material Performance
The success of new product introduction (NPI) and R&D hinges on a structured and iterative approach.
1
Define Objectives and Key Metrics
Establish performance characteristics, cost targets, and timelines.
2
Research Thesis and Experimentation Plan
Develop a research framework with clear hypotheses, test methodologies, and expected outcomes.
3
Prototyping and Pilot Runs
Create prototypes and conduct pilot production runs to validate material performance and process capability.
4
Gap Analysis and Process Optimization
Identify gaps in equipment, process capabilities, and workforce skills. Implement solutions to optimize performance.
5
Ownership of IP
We help clients secure intellectual property rights for new materials and processes developed during R&D.
Outcome: Efficient development and integration of new materials and products, reducing time-to-market and ensuring performance meets or exceeds expectations.
Project Approach for Troubleshooting Manufacturing Process Issues (OEM)
Manufacturing process issues can result in costly downtime and reduced product quality. Our systematic troubleshooting approach ensures rapid identification and resolution of these challenges.
1
Problem Identification
Collect and analyze process data to pinpoint the root cause of the issue.
2
Process and Equipment Audit
Conduct thorough inspections of the affected process areas, including equipment calibration, material flow, and operational procedures.
3
Root Cause Analysis
Utilize tools like Six Sigma's DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and Ishikawa diagrams to uncover underlying issues.
4
Solution Implementation
Develop and implement corrective actions, including equipment adjustments, process changes, and staff retraining.
5
Continuous Monitoring and Feedback
Set up monitoring systems to ensure the issue is resolved and does not recur. Provide ongoing support for process improvement.
Outcome: Reduced downtime, improved product quality, and enhanced overall process reliability.
