Productivity & Cost Reduction
Find the causes of lost labour, excess handling, poor flow and avoidable cost. Prioritise improvements by practical value.
KEVOS helps manufacturers identify wasted time, unnecessary cost and process problems, then turn the findings into practical improvements that can be implemented.
Services are designed for manufacturers and engineering-led businesses that need experienced support without committing to a large consulting engagement.
Find the causes of lost labour, excess handling, poor flow and avoidable cost. Prioritise improvements by practical value.
Review processes, tooling, work methods and production problems and develop practical engineering improvements.
Bring structure to improvement projects, equipment changes, implementation work and recovery of projects that have lost momentum.
Professional 2D and 3D CAD support for components, assemblies, fabrication details and manufacturing documentation using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
Move practical ideas from concept through design refinement, manufacturability review, prototype planning and production-ready documentation.
Translate engineering and operational opportunities into defensible cost, payback, capacity and implementation decisions.
Start with a defined problem. The work is scoped around the outcome you need, not an open-ended consulting retainer.
Discuss the process, project, symptoms, constraints and desired result.
Review the work method, time, flow, resources, risks and practical constraints.
Separate quick wins from larger improvements and show what should happen first.
Where required, help turn recommendations into a controlled improvement project.
Engagements can be small and specific or expanded into implementation support when the opportunity is worth pursuing.
Analyse a repetitive production operation, establish the current method and identify practical changes to tooling, sequence, layout or work method.
Review jigs, fixtures and operator aids to improve repeatability, cycle time, ergonomics and maintainability.
Clarify scope, actions, ownership, timing and risks for equipment changes, process upgrades and operational improvement projects.
Translate an improvement opportunity into measurable labour, throughput, capacity or project benefits so management can make a decision.
KEVOS combines manufacturing engineering, tooling, SolidWorks and AutoCAD design capability, product development, process improvement and project management experience. The goal is straightforward: identify a worthwhile problem, quantify it and help the business improve it.
Ideal for small and medium-sized manufacturers, fabricators, engineering businesses and project teams dealing with productivity issues, process changes, equipment projects or cost pressure.
Tell KEVOS what is happening, what it is costing you and what you would like to improve. The first conversation is used to determine whether a focused engagement makes sense.
No long-term retainer required. Scope the work around a defined outcome.
