Sustaining Engineering

Sustaining engineering efforts require approved, funded projects to improve operational efficiencies and to reduce total ownership costs.  Typically, once the production launch of a new product has occurred, resources are re-focused on the next product launch.  This approach leads to new production being lines activated, but not optimized.

CIMTEK Sustaining Engineering Services offer a complete portfolio of professional services and training targeted for your Sustaining Engineering projects. CIMTEK can also fill temporary gaps in your staff and support your existing staff, enabling your company to function more efficiently, and providing depth and bench strength

Sustaining Engineering Services projects provide the following results:

Improving Reliability. SES focuses not only on maintaining production but also on value-added activities aimed at improving the reliability of production processes. Improved reliability also reduces total ownership costs through reduced material purchases and lower direct labor costs.
Higher Yields. Higher yields translate into lower costs and greater customer satisfaction while driving revenue.
Increasing Performance. New materials, designs, and processes may be utilized to take advantage of changes in technology that allow better performance.
Resolving Sourcing Problems. Solutions designed to improve the reliability of sourced products enable pro-active management of core system quality before it becomes part of finished goods.
Improving Engineering Support. Seamless communication, in addition to a strong project management function enables Design Engineering to quickly understand design issues and the impact of potential changes in the shortest amount of time.
