“The system was developed in a highly professional and innovative manner, in no small way attributable to the skills of the people involved. The system delivers the solution to our manufacturing requirements” - Operations Manager, Aerospace Customer (Under NDA)

We understand the challenges across three critical layers of your production process

Operational Challenges - Delivering Value

New Product Introduction and Line Extension• Speed to market & sustained launch roll

out• Speed to volume ramp up• Develop robust validated manufacturing

processes• Effective & timely technology transfer• Device robustness & component

compatibility: minimise risk of compo-nent/device failure

• Development of quality & reliability assured products

• Successful regulatory approval: CAA/ EASA/FAA

Cost of Goods• Higher batch yields / lower waste / high

RFT (Right First Time) index• Shorter cycle times • More efficient supply chain • Lower inventory / WIP / finished stock • Improve plant / equipment utilisation • Optimal scheduling / minimal downtime • Fewer operator errors though enshrined

procedural compliance • Faster clean-down & change over

The majority of our customers identify goals within these four key areas of operation. SolutionsPT Advanced Manufacturing works develop solutions for single or multiple challenges across each area.

Quality and Compliance • Adherence to very specific Standards

& Regulations (AS9100, AIAA, AIR)• Pass factory inspections: UK / EU / US • Manufacture to exacting product

specifications: • Compliance with registered Technical File

(i.e. AMS4468, AMS4461, ARP86C)• Deliver full & accurate traceability and

genealogy• Achieve zero product recalls or failures

Customer Supply and On Time Delivery in Full • Right product delivered at the right time

to the right place – routinely (100% OT&IF)• Optimal Order fulfilment cycle time• Flexibility to meet order fluctuations• Agility to meet market & development

dynamics• Fewer customer complaints• More satisfied customers• Enabled customer centric culture

RealCustomerGoals*To be able to understand where we are today with a view to looking at spare ca-pacity available* To be able to identify 3% production efficiency gains* Get our products quickly - without compromising on quality or cost

RealCustomerGoals* A solution offering accurate understanding of bottlenecks* Providing real-time information to analyse downtimes and causes* Improvement of product yield

RealCustomerGoals* Improve quality and ensure consistency* To understand how process variables effect production quality* To deploy a unified solution across all lines to ensure like for like comparison and benchmarking for improvements in line with KPI’s

RealCustomerGoals* Spend less time on paper work and more time in the production area* A system that assists with the evolution of the productivity and improvement culture within the business

Our Approach The DRIVEprogrammewas developed from experience of the design and implementation of information driven improvement programmes within the manufacturing sectors. We provide our manufacturing customers with an extensive range of services and products enabling them to reach their business goals and achieve Manufacturing Operational Excellence.

D-Discover

During the initial discovery phase we will use workshops are used to establish customer goals. This creates an environment for stimulation and discussion with engagement at different levels of the company – enabling the needs of the organisation to be discovered and considered.

R-ReturnonInvestment

In the next stage we work with our customers to provide Return On Investment (ROI) statements based on their needs, our experience and other customer successes. This approach provides our customers with a clear understanding of our services, solutions and experience and significantly aids the project ap-proval stages. We discover and agree benefits and convert these benefits to a mutually agreed value, the accumulation of the benefit values offsets the cost over time and sustainability into the future.

I-Implementation

In stage three we apply five principles to our project implementation taking into consideration excellence in people, technology, quality and support

WorldClassTechnology - We only partner with world class vendors – the foundation for a successful business solution

ProvenMethodology - We offer a scalable approach to your business requirements delivering yield benefits at each phase of development

SkilledPeople- Our skilled team of consultants has the right technical skills and experience to deliver the best solution for your business

Quality - Fundamental to all stages of our delivery – we work with recognised standards of ISO and GAMP LongTermSupport- Benefits are not limited to just project delivery we ensure continuous return for a customer through sustainable support

V-Value

Stage four is undertaken once a system is installed as it is important that our customers see beneficial use. Our goal is to enable our customers to see and realise beneficial use by identifying waste and additional value adding opportunities in the manufacturing process.

E-EnableandEvaluate

The final evaluation stage is to measure what has been achieved and to ensure that the fullest deployment has been undertaken, thereby ensuring the earliest possible payback and sustainable high benefit beyond payback.
