PA Consulting Group supports its clients from laboratory R&D through to operational manufacturing, identifying opportunities for improvement or transformation through the appropriate fusion of science, engineering, automation and process optimisation. For example, we help companies regain profitability by fixing low yield processes. PA realises technology solutions that address many productivity and quality issues, enabling new and improved processes that deliver competitive advantage.
Defining process technology strategy
Having the right process makes the difference between delivering against cost, quality and volume targets or never achieving the required performance objectives. PA brings product, process and automation technology experts together to identify appropriate process options and plan the acquisition or development that supports the short, medium and longer term business objectives.
Developing breakthrough processes
Laboratory and manufacturing processes increasingly require new science and engineering approaches to make them possible, to deliver against capacity and cost targets, and to ensure the required quality and flexibility for current and future product and production. PA uses its deep understanding of science, technology and automation to identify and prototype innovative processes, and develop manual through to fully automated machine solutions which enable breakthrough process solutions.
Implementing process solutions
Transferring a new process into a fully operational system requires an array of agreements, equipment, labour and supporting processes to be put in place. PA provides extensive program management and technical support capabilities to assist in technology transfer from R&D, implement supporting manufacturing services, set-up and perform verification & validation processes and ensure regulatory compliance.
Improving process effectiveness
We often encounter underperforming laboratory and manufacturing processes, particularly on new lines and ground-breaking products where delivering high quality products on time to the market is crucial. PA combines engineering product and packaging know-how with an understanding of fundamental science and process improvement methodologies to significantly increase yield, improve regulatory compliance and drive down cost, to deliver sustainable performance improvements.
PA’s ability to deliver new and improved processes combined with our Manufacturing Industries and Life Science & Healthcare consulting services enable PA to deliver a significantly broader array of manufacturing strategies, factory relocation and implementation, lean manufacturing and cost reduction programmes from ‘insight to implementation’.
