The tools and structure of your business are already in place, now you are looking to move onto the next level of expertise that cannot be found in-house. You could use expert manufacturing consulting services to help you maximize operational efficiency and achieve sustainable growth, allowing for greater focus on what your team and talent are best at.
KETIV’s PDM (product data management) consulting services help manufacturers develop a system and strategy using digital transformation to manage all their product-related and manufacturing process information in one place. PLM (product lifecycle management) takes it enterprise wide, ensuring management of product data across the entire lifecycle and organization for the best process improvement possible. These practices ensure data integrity, improves decision-making processes, and enables effective collaboration between cross-functional teams to launch better quality products, faster.
“We were looking for a partner not just for managing technology and servers but that could help us find and utilize solutions to our problems.”
Leverage advanced design techniques to optimize product development, accelerate time-to-market, and automate engineering processes with our manufacturing consulting services. There are many ways KETIV helps mature and automate design: This includes using the most modern computer-aided design (CAD) software, transitioning to 3D modeling, assembly based design, implementing design libraries, product configuration and CAD automation. We can work with existing tools, introduce best-in-class software, or custom script a solution that will work for your particular product design methodology and operation.
“The solutions that we're developing with KETIV are very cool. It's something that the space we're working in hasn't seen before…it's a differentiator.”
Through digital simulations and validation processes, KETIV assists companies in analyzing and optimizing product designs and manufacturing processes. Ensure that your products are developed and manufactured with the highest quality and meet customer requirements. Leverage KETIV's recognized simulation experts to get that next product design validated, as an extension of your design team, or we can help transform your own designers into simulation software experts.
KETIV's manufacturing consultants implement guided sales tools that provide a controlled and streamlined buying process. You can serve customers faster, train sales people easier, and improve the close rate and margin on deals. Our dedicated team provides continuous improvement in the sales process through implementing world-class Tacton CPQ (configure, price and quote) and Design Automation to revolutionize the sales and engineering services for both customers and employees.
“KETIV doesn't just give us a tool. They look at our problems, they help us with a solution, and then they execute it flawlessly.”
KETIV's consultants identify opportunities with innovative solutions to implement CAM automation, CNC, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and robotics, enabling businesses to improve production process efficiency, reduce costs, and meet customer demands with greater flexibility and immediacy in the manufacturing industry.
“Fusion was simple to use and allowed us to model our first face shield in just 3 days. This even included the learning time from online sources, such as KETIV Virtual Academy (KVA).”
Design consulting accelerates product development by implementing design automation, creating reusable design libraries, and optimizing CAD workflows. These solutions reduce repetitive engineering tasks and enable faster iteration, allowing manufacturers to bring products to market more quickly while maintaining quality standards.
Manufacturing design consulting includes advanced CAD implementation, transition to 3D modeling and assembly-based design, design automation and configuration tools, CAD standards development, and custom scripting solutions. Consulting services can work with existing tools or introduce new software tailored to specific product design methodologies.
Manufacturers should consider design consulting when they need expertise not available in-house, want to automate repetitive design tasks, are transitioning to modern CAD systems, or need to optimize their product development workflow. Companies with established operations looking to reach the next level of efficiency benefit most from specialized consulting.
Design automation consulting begins with assessing current design processes to identify automation opportunities. Consultants then implement solutions such as product configurators, design libraries, and custom scripts that streamline engineering workflows. The process can include software implementation, team training, and ongoing optimization support.
Manufacturers should expect an initial assessment of current systems, development of customized solutions using industry-leading software, implementation support, and team training. Design consulting engagements typically include defined deliverables, timeline estimates, and may offer ongoing support to ensure long-term success and continuous improvement.
Yes, design consulting addresses both software tools and engineering workflows. Consultants can optimize existing CAD software usage, introduce new design technologies, develop CAD standards, automate design processes, and improve collaboration between teams. Solutions are tailored to work with a company's specific product design methodology and operations.
