Precision craft system

Controls you can see across every program

Standardized checkpoints keep automotive, commercial truck, furniture, and defense launches predictable.

IATF 16949 · AS9100D · ISO 14001 · OSHA VPP
Launch discipline APQP

DFM, timing, risk registers, and PPAP readiness with customer-facing dashboards.

Quality controls SPC

In-die sensing, camera inspection, CMM/laser validation, and layered process audits.

Logistics & service JIT

Sequenced delivery, VMI, and service parts with packaging engineered for your lines.

Engineering

Design for manufacturability from day one

We partner early to validate forming, optimize tooling, and prototype quickly so PPAP and SOP stay on schedule.

  • DFM/DFS reviews with forming simulation and tolerance stack-ups
  • Rapid prototype dies and soft tooling for early part validation
  • APQP leadership: control plans, PFMEA, PPAP documentation
  • Digital twin for material flow, throughput, and ergonomic checks

Automotive

Accelerated launch for body structure

Timing: -4 weeksScrap: -15%

DFM and simulation up front identified springback risks. Prototype trials validated countermeasures, enabling PPAP four weeks ahead of plan with reduced scrap.

Outcome: Faster SOP and stable capability for a global platform.
