process gap analysis

what we know

With almost 30 years' experience in Production Control, CIMx has some unique skills. We've seen everything from sticky notes on airplane parts to an annual budget of $10,000 on magnets to run jobs. We've seen what works and what doesn't and have a passion to learn more about things. Whether you plan to use our tools or go your own way, we can provide insights into your processes - what's going well and not and what you can do today to help your team.

We can share best practices that we've seen other companies use; strategies to make you more competitive. We can look from the inside-out to make sure that you are aware of the areas where your team is losing track or having trouble. Where we see areas that have specific issues, we can identify remediations using the tools you currently have or new ones.

what makes us qualified?

While we don't have 40 years' experience, we're closing in on 30. We're specialists in operator-centric work. If you have people on your shop floor managing your work and you need to manage them, we can help. We're specifically priced and structured to help manufacturers of all sizes.

how we do it

We have almost 30 years' experience in the most regulated industries in the world. Working with customers in aerospace, defense, medical device and composite manufacturing, we developed the systems and processes to analyze where their manufacturing processes were failing or had gaps in the workflow. With decades of experience on their shop floors, we are uniquely qualified to help identify the critical areas of risk with compliance to your processes, regulations and requirements.

why we do it

Process gap analysis work takes time and a keen eye for attention. One of our company Core Values is "We are born problem solvers." Quite simply, we've never met a problem we didn't want to explore. That natural curiosity means we hire individuals that are uniquely positioned to pay attention and, with almost 30 years' experience in manufacturing, we have the right tools for them to do the work. We've toured so many shop floors that we can pinpoint areas of concern where you might not be focused. We can review tools that might be helpful to you or provide you some of our own.

what we do

We will review your design and manufacturing practices, measuring against standard work and identifying gaps. You receive a value of measure against the standard and one or more ways to close the critical gaps we identify. We build a document outlining your specific gaps and the suggestions we have to close them. We prioritize the work for you so you can attack your most critical issues first, with a specific eye towards the gaps that provide the largest ROI (return). We also provide follow-on assistance and we'll even check up on you periodically to see how you're doing.

insights to gaps. resources you have.

Whether your shop runs on paper or uses a database tool in manufacturing, we provide the critical insights you need to move forward. Our Process Gap Analysis starts with interviews with your key team members. We are a process-driven organization and can uncover the what behind the why. We want to identify why you are having the problems you see.
