Design Process
The traditional approach to the choice of an investment is based essentially on the profitability of the project over time. In many cases, choices are made in line with best known practices of service methods, but it is all too often the case that these are not necessarily adapted to the environment of the workshop, causing partial or complete rejection by operators. Consequently, some projects have seen their profitability founder. In extreme cases, the increase in the cost of products can lead to the dismantling of the equipment invested in.

To this can be added another phenomenon, in that company funds are not unlimited reserves for investment. Quite the contrary, financial results do not depend only on the retail costs of products and sales, but there is a real pressure to reduce the level of immobilised assets or debts to carry out investments. While it is necessary to invest to remain competitive, this should be carried out at the lowest cost to reduce liquidity requirements, and get short returns on investment.
It is in this economic and industrial context that we have developed our know-how in the design of equipment: assembly lines and machinery.
Our method makes it possible to jointly reach our coals of product retail costs and investment levels. There are various levers for actions, and not only technical ones. Stimulating creativity, accepting paradigm shifts in R&D and Methods services are key to obtaining significant design results. Furthermore, our support can be characterised as follows:
• The determination of elementary Added Value operations
• The choice of the better way of obtaining quality
• Choice of the means of implementation: manual or automatic
• Technological choices for automatic resources with the objective of robustness/ cost
