Advanced Manufacturing Initiative

Introducing new technology in a process has the potential to increase quality, lower costs, and reduce lead times. In order to maximise benefit, it is essential that careful thought is given to the selection and implementation of the appropriate technology. The CRID Advanced Manufacturing Initiative ensures that organizations make the right investment and are well prepared for the resulting change.

Diagnostic and Mentorship

The CRID Technology Readiness Diagnostic assesses the organization’s technology integration capacity on both the technical and cultural fronts. This examination also ensures that the chosen process is well suited for investment. Over the course of the initiative, CRID consultants regularly meet with organization leadership to provide guidance, support, and prepare them to undergo technology implementation. Change management strategies are used and transferred to the organization to ensure that the implementation is both successful and durable

Process Study

The organization’s chosen process is carefully examined by CRID consultants. Data is collected and analysed in order to determine which advanced manufacturing technologies would be most beneficial. The information collected is also used to calculate the return on investment potential of the proposed change.

Advanced Manufacturing Recommendation

The strength of the CRID lies in its large network of experts. Organizations are matched with field-specific expert consultants based on their needs. The selected expert consultants study, recommend, and validate potential advanced manufacturing investments ensuring that the technology is appropriate and best suited for the process
