Process Improvement

Our experience scaling-up and launching new products can be transferred to any new product commercialization effort, or be used to troubleshoot and improve existing manufacturing efforts.

• Scale-Up
• Process Modification
• Quality Control
• Consistency
• Cycle Time

Process support can greatly reduce the time requirements of bringing a new product out of the lab and into the plant. Other benefits include reduction of off-spec batches, simplified manufacturing instructions and tighter production control capabilities.

Product Evaluation

Product evaluation aids in decision making for product selection, purchasing negotiations and competitive offerings.

• Comparative Performance
• Manufactured Cost Estimate
• Substitution Potential

In many cases, the Quality Management Group can evaluate products in a "black box" environment to maintain objectivity and ultimate secrecy. When estimating manufactured costs and substitution potential, open communication is required for effective evaluations.

Method Development

The Quality Management Group develops in-process and post-production quality control methods to analytically monitor and track performance versus a predetermined specification.

Patent Evaluation

Patent evaluation is important before undertaking any R&D project, prior to invention filing and while investigating opportunities to circumvent existing patents. The Quality Management Group evaluates internal or competitive patent coverage and recommends a path to maximize intellectual property.
