Manufacturing
Discovering hidden value in production processes
Newton unlocks value at every stage of the manufacturing process, resolving quality, delivery and cost problems that impede performance and drain resource.In the early stages of a programme, our work often involves addressing complex technical issues to help ensure individual components meet their specification and pass First Article Inspection. On-time component delivery is then critical, especially in the defence and aerospace sectors where the 'golden washers' can stop the final delivery of the product. We tackle late parts delivery problems to optimise the supply chain, minimise inventory and maximise invoiced sales.
Throughout production we challenge established processes and look for opportunities to improve quality and reduce cost. In many projects it's the small, quick changes in day-to-day operations, usually overlooked, that deliver the greatest improvements.
We've dramatically improved manufacturing performance across a wide variety of processes – from high precision machining, automated NDT and manual composite lay up, to welding, laser cutting and perforate drilling. By working closely with all our clients to create a culture of continuous improvement, we make sure they have the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to sustain and build upon improvements delivered during the project.
