Our engineering department is staffed with mechanical engineers and technicians as well as experienced, hands-on manufacturing engineers, planners and programmers. We are completely computerized and all engineering and project management work is done on line. This includes computer aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), project management, and business management.

We use a single entry business and shop floor control program. We build an individual file for each project which starts with your inquiry and grows to include material planning and purchasing documents, manufacturing and quality work instructions, work center loading and actual cost data. All work is performed to written instructions contained in these project files which are available from computer terminals on the shop floor. These records are invaluable tools for use in our capacity planning, scheduling, costing and continuous improvement process.

Our engineering, purchasing, project management and quality assurance personnel are physically located in the same area and function as a coordinated team.

We work with a wide variety of incoming customer documentation ranging from completely specified build to print packages to loosely defined concept sketches and specifications. In this age of increasing complexity, many of our customers have found that they have little practical manufacturing engineering capability and use us for input into their design process. We have found that we can add substantial value when participating as a design team member. Many of our customers who use concurrent design have been impressed with our ability to work in parallel with their design effort while maintaining configuration control, schedule and budget.

We have the capability of working from electronic files and often move directly from customer files to CAM generated machine code. We welcome electronic communication.
