Production systems
Greenfield and brownfield planning, production-line design, flow, equipment strategy, capacity and ramp readiness built around the actual product and demand requirement.
Explore →Industrialization
Engineer the system that will make the product.
Industrialization is the engineering of the production system required to produce a product repeatedly at the required quality, rate, cost and level of control. It is where product intent meets manufacturing reality.
Production system
A drawing is not a production system.
Stable production requires process, equipment, tooling, work content, material flow, controls, quality gates, inspection, test, suppliers, capacity, training, documentation and launch criteria to converge before volume exposes the gaps.
Process readiness
Process flow, work content, cycle-time logic, controls, quality gates, validation, standard work and defined readiness criteria for repeatable production.
Equipment readiness
Specify, evaluate, select, qualify and integrate equipment around actual process requirements, interfaces, capacity and acceptance criteria.
Launch
From readiness to controlled ramp.
Supplier, process, quality and production readiness have to converge before volume becomes the test. A launch date is not evidence of readiness.
Supplier readiness
Feasibility, process review, quality planning, gap closure and escalation.
APQP / PPAP
Planning, evidence, gate discipline and submission readiness tied to the actual launch.
Ramp & stabilization
Trial builds, run-at-rate, containment, issue closure and controlled handoff only after defined stability and readiness criteria are demonstrated.
Production readiness is engineered before the launch date.
Bring the requirement, current state and target. SharpSigma can help close the gap between engineering intent and repeatable production.
