Process Engineering
Good processes provide control and consistency throughout your organisation, enabling you to monitor, measure and improve your business performance.
Process engineering has the potential to help you achieve considerable savings by reducing waste, avoiding repetition and removing bottlenecks.
Through the Centre for Innovation, we can guide you in developing new processes or help you to improve existing systems through on-site visits and evaluation.
Our aim is to help companies, networks and entire industry sectors to achieve sustainable improvements in the following:
- Product and service quality
- Manufacturing engineering
- Process flexibility
- Cycle time and inventory reduction
- Supplier relationships.
We can help you evaluate new process techniques and technologies, including kanban, inventory pull programs and computer-based process optimisation techniques. We can also work with you to develop, implement and assess business improvement programs.
Our other services include:
Each year, we also conduct the SA Quick Change-Over Competition, which gives industry an incentive to reduce changeover times. It also provides a vehicle to encourage and train shop floor personnel in operational efficiency.
Teams entering the competition receive training and specialist consulting, as well as feedback to support future business improvements.
