Industrial Enginerring Consultant - VIRTUAL MACHINES Inc.

Our consulting expertise is often sought for second opinions on critical projects and for a fresh perspective on existing projects. In many cases we are asked to evaluate manufacturing operations and propose ways to reduce cost and improve quality and operator safety.
Our industrial engineering expertise is based on Japanese production philosophy (Singo's System for Continuous Improvement) and European and North American manufacturing practices.

Here are some examples of Consulting Services we offer:

Project Management - We provide project management services that include: the creation of budgets and time schedules, working with vendors and contractors, preparation of request for quotations (RQFs), oversight of installations, start up and commissioning of equipment and systems, and training.

Cost Analysis - We perform cost analysis of all factors associated with a product, machine or process. To arrive at a true cost value, we take into account hidden factors commonly overlooked.

Ergonomics Improvement - We analyze the interaction between human beings and technology in real work settings, designing solutions that make the most productive use of human capabilities while ensuring the maintenance of employee health and safety. Our basic principle is that the job must fit the person in all respects and that the work environment should not compromise the health or well being of workers.

Manufacturing Process Design - We design cost-effective manufacturing solutions for our clients. Our approach to manufacturing process design is based on Shigeo Shingo's system of continuous improvement.
2D/3D Layout - We create 2D and 3D layouts for machines and equipment, plants, work cells, air and electrical services, process flow, etc.

Time Study - We apply Time Study (Time-Motion Study) to determine the most effective ways to use basic manufacturing elements, such as people, machines, materials, information and energy.

Machine Manuals and Documentation - We create information manuals and other documentation for existing machinery and equipment. These manuals typically include operator instructions, electrical and other requirements, as well as preventative maintenance schedules and spare parts lists.
Poka – Yoke Mistake Proofing - We design Poka-Yoke devices to prevent mistakes and to make mistakes obvious at a glance.

Reverse Engineering - We provide reverse engineering services, duplicating or enhancing existing parts, assemblies or machines
BENEFITS


Here are some examples of how our services benefit our clients:

By creating virtual prototypes we can reduce the number of physical prototypes and tests required.
We can reduce design time, without the loss of flexibility.

We can reduce the time it takes to bring a product to market.

We can increase the accuracy of assembly parts by designing them within assembly model, directly using geometry from adjacent parts or layouts.

Our clients save by not needing an additional in-house CAD station or software.

By outsourcing to us, our clients minimize their payroll, free up valuable workspace and free their human resources to work on what they do best.

We can reduce manufacturing cost by reducing waste, improving material flow, eliminating defects and reducing production cycle time.
