The team at PTL have an extensive combined knowledge of producing quality engineering products, on time and on cost. The experience gained includes best practises and approaches, as well as the ability to apply project management techniques to react to unforeseen issues and ensure successful completion of projects.
Control of product cost is a key requirement at both low and high volume production. PTL will routinely assess designs from the point of view of cost reduction, taking into account materials, manufacturing processes and assembly methods, while ensuring that the part functional and quality requirements are achieved. Working with emerging technologies and materials alongside industry leading suppliers, PTL ensure overall product costs are evaluated to take account of the latest engineering developments.
Unexpected behaviour and unwanted failures can occur at any time during product development or in the field. PTL can provide the rapid response required to minimise the effect of such failures. Our extensive experience in product design, together with our network of specialists and analysis laboratories allows us to provide an objective assessment of the failure and a methodical approach to the solution.
PTL will normally adopt a 7 step approach to problem solving, either in its entirety, or by contributing to certain steps as required. A typical full process would involve the following:
