Manufacturing Improvement Consulting
FlowForge helps manufacturers uncover bottlenecks, reduce waste, improve workflow and implement practical changes directly on the shopfloor.
Real production-engineering experience. Practical recommendations. Hands-on implementation.
A bottleneck may appear at one workstation, but the real cause can involve layout, material flow, planning, training, quality or communication.
FlowForge looks at the complete production environment before recommending where to act.
Start Here
A focused, hands-on assessment of your production environment to identify the highest-value opportunities for improvement.
Production Reviews from A$1,500
Clarify the production challenge, business priorities and current constraints.
Review the real shopfloor environment, workflows and behaviours.
Identify bottlenecks, waste, risks and improvement opportunities.
Focus on actions most likely to improve output, quality, cost or control.
Provide implementation guidance or ongoing engineering support where required.
Ongoing capability
Fractional Engineering Support suits manufacturers that need ongoing engineering capability but do not require or cannot justify a full-time senior production engineer.
Fractional Support from A$2,500 per month
Find bottlenecks, waste and workflow problems limiting output.
Access ongoing production-engineering capability without a full-time senior hire.
Improve workstation design, movement, material flow and use of factory space.
Provide focused engineering support for urgent production, process or quality problems.
Stabilise and improve the process before investing in equipment or automation.
Configure practical shopfloor visibility workflows around the customer’s real operation.
Provide targeted production-engineering guidance for defined operational decisions or improvement work.
On-site Troubleshooting starts from A$1,750 per day. Advisory Support starts from A$160 per hour. View complete consulting pricing.
FlowForge begins with the real production environment rather than assumptions.
Operators, supervisors, engineers and management all hold part of the operational picture.
Recommendations focus on the changes most likely to improve performance.
Solutions must work within the customer’s real constraints, resources and systems.
FlowForge can provide the review, the improvement plan and the hands-on support required to move from recommendation to implementation.
Manufacturing Outcomes
Machines produced per person per day
Reduction in rework
Production floor space recovered in a key work area
Output increase from the redesigned area
Results were achieved through production analysis, workflow redesign, practical shopfloor systems and hands-on implementation.
Results vary depending on the operation, project scope and implementation environment.
Sydney-based with support available across Australia. FlowForge works across manufacturing environments rather than restricting support to one sector.
