Structural Design doesn’t mean high project cost

Project cost means the overall cost including tooling and production line change parts. Ultimately, the total cost to implement.

One of the first things we like to do is survey our client’s production operations. By understanding systems and machine specifications a picture builds on how much flexibility currently exists, often a lot more than expected.

We develop an understanding about the consequences of change. “If you do this, we can wind in the adjustments, if you do that we need a new machine”.

We often spot things that create bottlenecks in efficiency or are just bad utilization of machine capacity.

As a result of the research, we can back up design concepts with production rationale and indicative production costs.
