The Needs Analysis begins with an inventory of usage patterns, interviews with key personnel, a review of past practices and reasoning and a description of the type and amount of parts purchased.

An Audit process then utilizes worksheets to study various areas covering materials, engineering, manufacturing, quality, paper flow/accounting and storage and handling.

An Evaluation period provides time to analyze the findings, looking for areas of cost-savings, development of standards, zero defect design, etc.

A Presentation of the cost saving analysis will be made offering suggestions for improved quality, lower overall costs, increased profits, improved productivity and lower effort.
