With competition coming in from across the globe, manufacturers are faced with margin pressures. Additionally, when companies feel compelled to grow by engaging in new market segments or new geographies, similar margin pressures come to the fore. Most often, the answer is value engineering - reducing the cost of engineering and manufacturing the product without de-featuring it. This is typically done by innovative engineering to identify alternate materials or manufacturing processes, alternate sourcing strategies and standardization.

Since many of our engineers cut their teeth in value engineering projects in price-sensitive markets, it's ingrained into their professional being. Having worked onsite in manufacturing companies in multiple domains, these engineers understand global manufacturing processes and can bring design ideas perfected in one domain into another.
