Project Examples

Successful project examples, involving various industries and solutions provided, include:

  • An existing customer was developing a new hermetic glass-sealed component for a subsea oil and gas application.  Via providing candidate material solutions and multiple supply-chain sources, the customer was able to continue their new product design Stage-Gate process.

  • A Fortune 500 company was experiencing multiple, prematurely failing elastomer seals on a high volume beverage production line.  By performing materials failure analyses, providing alternate materials solutions and alternate supplier sources, the customer was able to run at full capacity and eliminate costly, unexpected downtimes & significant product losses.

  • A growing and expanding, privately-owned manufacturing shop who had just invested in new and higher capacity equipment was experiencing process flow challenges.  By performing process mapping, capability & capacity assessments, raw materials and finished goods tracking, and Lean activities the manufacturing shop eliminated the flow challenges and increased several efficiencies.

  • A Fortune 100 company was experiencing increased rates of non-conformance of a purchased, high precision fluid pump.  A For-Cause audit was executed using verified metrics, analytical laboratory data, and a 8D-Based corrective action process to track and verify improvements. The customer was able to get in-front of the unexpected non-conformances, correct the challenges and prevent costly field recalls and warrantee issues.

  • A multi-continental company was performing new product feasibility studies into a commercial pneumatic piston. Solutions were provided for reverse engineering, positive materials identification, and candidate materials which allowed the customer to progress in their feasibility study.

  • One of the Top 100 largest medical device companies experienced unexpected plating discoloration of an instrumentation device.  Laboratory analyses, process mapping of the sub-supplier plating process, and sub-supplier process improvements solutions were provided. The customer was able to get in front of any product challenges plus established improvements to their incoming inspection criteria / methodologies.
