We are a single person LLC whose mission is to help organizations of all sizes, types, and industries develop and implement the operational innovations required to drive the accelerated maturation and adoption of transformative advanced manufacturing technologies. We work with manufacturing companies, applied research and development (R&D) organizations, and economic development agencies who want to transform traditional manufacturing operations into technology and talent differentiated advanced manufacturing enterprises and ecosystems. We help these organizations address their biggest product development and manufacturing innovation challenges by leveraging our unique technical expertise, deep domain knowledge of industry best practices, and a proven track record of developing and implementing operational innovations with little or no precedent. We accomplish this by providing comprehensive consulting services using proven systems engineering approaches that enable clients to improve their strategic planning and roadmapping activities, develop business plans for manufacturing innovation, mitigate product development risk, streamline operational performance and reduce hidden factory costs, select and implement advanced manufacturing technologies, and up-skill their workforce to accelerate product and process innovation. We are knowledgeable in several emerging and traditional manufacturing technology areas that include physics-based modeling and simulation, digital thread and digital twin, additive manufacturing and 3D printing, collaborative industrial robotics, precision machining, joining, casting, composite, printed circuit board, and MEMS sensor fabrication processes.
