Makino Engineering Services create production-ready processes - including machinery, fixtures, tools, programs and documentation - for parts with complex geometries, demanding deadlines, challenging budget constraints and Six Sigma standards. "Hundreds of manufacturers in need of integrated flexible manufacturing systems have taken advantage of these services, each benefiting from guaranteed cycle times, Cpk and cost per part that meet or exceed their production goals," said a Makino spokesperson.
"Today's global economy puts fierce pressures on manufacturers to reduce costs, shrink lead times and respond quickly to customer needs, especially in the ongoing race to quote and win new automotive contracts and part programs," continued the spokesperson. "At the same time, manufacturers are continually driven to reduce part costs while enhancing part quality by developing flexible manufacturing systems that are reliable and stable enough to adapt quickly to changing part volumes and designs.
"Internally, manufacturing engineering services are often stretched thin, especially when the challenge is to specify and launch a new manufacturing process such as automation integration services for a cell or system to meet a new manufacturing obligation. A company might lack the manufacturing engineering services altogether or lack the expertise around a potential new part contract they desire to quote. In addition, manufacturers can enjoy efficiency and peace of mind by turning to an experienced engineering services supplier that can integrate all aspects of a project and guarantee the results of its services. Makino Engineering Services is capable of delivering all these benefits and more."
Makino Engineering Services can manage every step of a project with single-point contact project management, project engineering, on-site supervision and post-installation training and support. These services are designed to enable manufacturers to focus their time on other critical aspects of their business.
"We have experienced engineers and project managers available to solve tough manufacturing part challenges," said the spokesperson. "Our flexible manufacturing solutions give manufacturers the scalability and support they need to compete globally.
"Makino automation integration services provide complete automated cells and systems. Whether demands call for simple machine tending or complex high-volume robotic cells, Makino's automation integration services offer equipment, skills and manpower for the purpose of reducing labor costs, increasing throughput, ensuring and enhancing part quality, while retaining the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing volumes or new parts.
"Makino's turn-key manufacturing engineering services provide guaranteed cycle times, production rates and throughput that give manufacturers the speed and confidence to win new business. A Makino turn-key addresses every aspect of the manufacturing process, including application engineering, fixture design and building, project management, cost and time guarantees, installation, runoffs, prove out, technology transfer and the high-performance Makino machining centers. The quality and originality of Makino's automation integration services, turn-key services and manufacturing engineering services overall have helped hundreds of manufacturers in North America grow their business and their bottom line."
Makino's Engineering Services can also be contracted by the hour to improve overall shop efficiency by focusing on the under-performing elements of a flexible manufacturing system.
