Assess manufacturing technology on technical and economic criteria

Component, process and bottleneck

The starting point is your specific task, not a machine in a catalogue. I clarify function, quality requirements, quantities and variants, deadlines and the current workflow.

• What rework and scrap occur today?
• What data is missing, and who can resolve those gaps?

Requirements and alternatives

I compare technically suitable routes against the same requirements: existing conventional manufacturing, additive processes, combinations and external partners. Quality, availability and potential downtime matter alongside staffing and training needs.

Total costs including implementation

Preparation, software, maintenance, operation, post-processing, inspection and training add to the purchase cost. I distinguish supported figures from assumptions and check whether assumed utilisation fits available capacity and other work.

Make-or-buy and deciding against investment

In-house production is not automatically the best solution. Tasks can remain in-house, go to partners or be shared. A targeted retrofit, retaining the process or making no new purchase are also possible recommendations.

Process Check outcome and scope

You can commission a reasoned recommendation with assumptions, required actions and next verification steps. We agree the scope in advance, for example through a Process Check.
