Advancements in manufacturing process technologies and the information technologies for the design, control and management of these processes is progressing at a pace beyond the capabilities of many companies to maintain their competitiveness. MCG consultants keep abreast of the latest CAD/CAM techniques, computer modeling and simulation systems, inspection and quality management methods, and enterprise management procedures.

MCG offers special capabilities in Process Optimization – maximizing the capabilities and returns for an established manufacturing capital base. Studies in this area often involve the application of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing techniques, but often are simply a critical examination of a company’s existing manufacturing methods such as thermal process controls, tooling practices, lubrication techniques, material handling, and environmental issues. Modifications in process support practices such as lubrication, for example, can result in dramatic quality improvements and cost savings without added capital costs.
