Process Design & Improvement
Designing and improving manufacturing processes to increase throughput, reduce cycle time, and improve first-pass yield.
Manufacturing Engineering
Engineering solutions that improve performance and reduce cost
Practical, hands-on manufacturing engineering support for businesses that need to improve process capability, reduce waste, and get more from their equipment and people.
How I can help
I work alongside your engineering and operations teams to diagnose the root cause of performance problems and implement lasting solutions — from process design and tooling through to documentation and standards.
Areas of expertise
Tooling & Fixture Development
Developing tooling and fixtures that improve quality, reduce operator effort, and enable consistent, repeatable production.
Capacity & Bottleneck Analysis
Identifying and resolving the constraints that limit output — whether in equipment, process, or people.
Quality & Process Capability
Improving process capability and reducing variation to achieve consistent quality and reduce scrap and rework.
SMED & Changeover Improvement
Reducing changeover time to increase available capacity and improve scheduling flexibility.
Engineering Documentation
Developing and improving BOMs, routings, work instructions, and process documentation to support consistent, auditable production.
Common problems I help resolve
High scrap and rework rates
Root cause analysis and process improvement to reduce variation and improve first-pass yield.
Capacity constraints and bottlenecks
Systematic analysis to identify and resolve the constraints limiting throughput.
Long and unpredictable changeover times
SMED methodology to reduce changeover time and improve scheduling flexibility.
Poor process documentation
Development of accurate, usable work instructions and process documentation that operators actually follow.
Inconsistent operator methods
Standardised work design and visual management to ensure consistent, repeatable production.
Difficult new product introduction
Design for manufacture review and process development to ensure new products can be produced efficiently from day one.
