Our team has years of history and experience in coordinating all aspects of a new product launch. We can perform any or all of the following:
Each product requires a different process. Commonality among product manufacturing is always strived for, however, it is not always possible. Our team of process designers have developed and re-engineered many processes, from the ground up or implementing a new product into the same process. We specialize in common product complexity prevention and error proofing; this is either done on your line or with the Design Engineer.

Manufacturing technology and processing strategies are constantly expanding and improving. New machine technologies or process strategies can help increase run-at-rate production, high quality output, constant machine monitoring and capability, safety and ergonomic improvements. MEDA Limited works in conjunction with many leading machine designers and builders; we can suggest any one of their breakthrough technological machine advancements for applications in your area. We also have a team of process engineers who can implement their knowledge to provide you with the latest in lean manufacturing, quality, ergonomics, and error proofing strategies.

Project timing and equipment delivery / installation is always a major contributor to a successful outcome. Let our team track, manage and keep your programs on time, let us help you meet equipment and installation targets. We can either create a specific timing plan tracking document from your project or manage any current documents your team is already using.

From concept drawings to build, our team can aide in ensuring the best possible equipment design to fit the application you are looking for. Equipment trial runs can be supervised to ensure quality product outcome readiness. Your engineering teams can benefit not only from a coordinated effort but also with an extra set of eyes, looking into safety, maintainability, and quality of the equipment.

Planning the shipping, delivery and installation of new equipment is a large task, a role that required maintenance and installation experience. installation planning meshes with project timing in a crucial way, the installation and startup of the equipment must go smoothly to ensure timing stays on target. Let our engineers and managers provide you with detailed scopes of work, taken from on-site visits and installation experience. Our team will ensure all pre-work is completed and equipment is installed within the allotted project timing. We will work closely with your maintenance and supplier support teams to ensure proper startup of the equipment.

Once installation and startup of the equipment is established, the equipment must be run to prove that it is capable of manufacturing quality products. Many guidelines and requirements set by the quality department must be followed and specifications met. Let our team help ensure all data is recorded, organized, and presented to your quality team. Let us help with suggestions to increase the capability of the equipment, if necessary.

All processes and equipment must be analyzed to identify potential future failures. Controlling these failures and implementing preventions and detections to their causes is a very effective way of reducing the number of potential defective parts. Some failures cannot be completely removed, nor can some of their causes. Our process and quality teams has vast experience in aiding the customer with identifying and controlling any failures. We can also suggest plans to ensure control over the defective parts and any situation that may arise.

Organizing different levels of parts, coordinating their shipment, sorting, and arranging them in their storage area is an ongoing task from the beginning of the program through to launch. Our teams can help by managing or coordinating any of the mentioned efforts or being a liaison between supplier and client, we can take product issues back to the supplier and ensure timely execution of product enhancements.

Every new piece of equipment has a startup curve. Some parts will need to be changed out prior to full production. It is important to identify these parts and have those critical to the launch and program timing purchased and ready, on-hand, before the equipment is capable. Ma ny people believe that this is not a feasible concept, that it's almost impossible to have spare parts on hand prior to launch; however, our team can prove the value. We have extensive history with part procurement; we will work with your spare part suppliers and maintenance team for proper identification of the needed parts and ensure on-time delivery.

Many documents are generated when launching a new program. From planning, timing, and capability reports, to quality documents, preventive maintenance packages and required spare parts. let us manage each section of the program where the documentation will be generated. Or have us coordinate the program to ensure communication of each section of the product launch. Either way, your documentation is sure to be completed in full detail, satisfactorily, and on time.
