New Six-Sigma Recruit to Help Cut Manufacturing Costs

April 15 / 2016

With years of experience, Oxford Engineering provides manufacturing solutions for a diverse number of different industries. Our new recruit is proof that we are committed to our mission of “an engineering company worthy of high regard.”

Our recent report on the various ways Oxford Engineering can save your business manufacturing money takes an in-depth look at the issues most businesses tackle during the production process. Our Chairman was instrumental in this analysis, providing solutions from overhead manufacturing costs to issues with offshoring production.

“Using Manufacturing Engineers, or universal IT systems and training, can help [cut costs]. In short, they will reduce some of the impact of that [offshoring] distance,” says Karim Sekkat in the report.

The report list methods such as Value Stream Mapping, the technique used to document, analyze and improve the flow of information or materials required to produce a product or service for a customer, and Concurrent Engineering as solutions to manufacturing money problems.

“Without ongoing continuous improvement, you can expect that your cost of quality will be between 20 and 35 percent of sales,” says Mr. Sekkat in regards to the benefits of Concurrent Engineering.

A world leader in the medical industry, has saved 65 percent of the cost of their main manufactured and welded assembly kit. In the last two years this same company achieved another 5 percent reduction in manufacturing costs with Oxford Engineering.

With past achievements, such as saving one customer 21 percent over an entire year, we believe our Six Sigma recruit, backed with teams of engineers, will help us to continue to impress our clients with our cost-saving methods.
