Process Improvement

Practical engineering improvement for flow, capability, reliability and repeatable control.

Understand the current process

Map the work, data and pain points before changing the system.

Find the controllable causes

Separate symptoms from process causes that can be measured and improved.

Implement measured changes

Introduce targeted actions, owners and simple checks to confirm progress.

Lock in the gain

Update routines, records and training so the improvement becomes normal work.

C.3 Process Services

Lean, Six Sigma, FMEA and 8D support for manufacturing performance.

Process services apply structured improvement methodologies to improve manufacturing process efficiency, reduce waste and increase yield.

FMEA + 8D Workshop

Delivery: 1-2 days on-site

Best for: Quick-win team training and live problem-solving. Strong foot in the door offer.

Scope

  • Pre-workshop scoping call
  • Day 1: FMEA training and facilitated FMEA on chosen product or process
  • Day 2 optional: 8D problem-solving methodology and live 8D on current issue
  • Templates and toolkit for ongoing use

Process Improvement

Delivery: 1 week

Best for: SMEs with inefficient or undocumented workflows.

Scope

  • Current-state process mapping using Value Stream Mapping
  • Waste and inefficiency identification
  • Root cause analysis using 5-Why and Fishbone
  • Future-state process design
  • SOP drafting and documentation, up to 3 SOPs
  • Prioritised implementation roadmap

Deliverables

  • Current and future state process maps
  • Gap analysis report
  • Prioritised action list with effort and impact matrix
  • Draft SOPs

Yield Improvement Investigation

Delivery: 2-3 weeks

Best for: Manufacturers with declining or stagnant yield. Scope and quotation confirmed after scoping. Strong fit for electronics and PCBA manufacturers.

Scope

  • Yield baseline measurement with weekly or monthly trend
  • Pareto analysis of failure modes
  • Root cause investigation for the top 3-5 failures
  • Corrective and preventive action plan, CAPA
  • Implementation support where in scope
  • Re-baseline after 30 days

Production Line Optimisation

Delivery: 1-2 weeks

Best for: Manufacturers needing to increase throughput or improve OEE.

Scope

  • OEE baseline measurement and analysis
  • Bottleneck and constraint identification
  • Line balancing assessment
  • Layout and flow optimisation review
  • Cycle time reduction analysis
  • Shift pattern and resource utilisation review

Deliverables

  • OEE baseline report
  • Bottleneck analysis with root causes
  • Improvement priority matrix with ROI estimates
  • Layout recommendations
  • Lean improvement plan

Manufacturing Transfer Support

Delivery: scope-dependent, typically 6-10 weeks

Best for: Operations moving production between sites. Scope and quotation confirmed after scoping.

Scope

  • Tester replication across receiving sites
  • Validation pack, IQ/OQ/PQ, for transferred testers
  • On-site knowledge transfer and operator training
  • Bilingual EN/TH support for UK companies with Thailand or SEA operations
  • Final transfer report and sign-off
