Case Study: Manufacturing Process Improvements

Learn about how we helped an angioplasty treatment developer overcome challenges with their pilot manufacturing process, streamlining their extensive process. With implementations for scalable manufacturing, we were also able to reduce their new employee training time by 83% and ultimately help them produce better quality and yield. 

Overview

Our customer, a developer of angioplasty treatments, was experiencing challenges with their pilot manufacturing process as personnel training took over a month and per unit assembly took several hours. Rampant quality issues in the downstream process also challenged their organization.

Challenge

Research, identify and implement new viable methods for scalable manufacturing, while reducing time to train production associates and reduce per unit yield times for balloon catheter line.

Approach

Identified, developed and implemented manufacturing process improvements utilizing exotic materials and magnetics to address product form and delicacy; sourced new equipment, designed custom tooling, implemented new training procedures. On this project:

• Senior Manufacturing & Operations Engineer
• Project Manager

Solution

​Reduced training time by 83%, yield times from 2 hours to 20 minutes per unit. Successfully addressed downstream quality issues, improving yield and setting client on course with a process which was successfully validated for commercial use.

Result

⏱️ Training time was reduced by 83%
