How we work

Engineering-first. Scope-clear. No theatre.

We work with manufacturers in one of three engagement formats, matched to the decision the client needs to make.

Embedded Consulting

Multi-month · ongoing

For clients with continuous engineering needs across plants or programs. Ongoing engineering and commercial coverage, like our flagship Matcor-Matsu engagement, now in its fifth year.

Project Sprint

4–12 weeks · fixed scope

For specific, scoped problems with a deadline. A costing exercise. A single-line improvement. Launch support. Fixed scope, fixed fee, clear deliverable.

Capability Diagnostic

1–2 weeks · assessment

For organizations exploring whether engineering consulting can help. A fast assessment of cost, process or workflow opportunities. The output is a written diagnostic with prioritized recommendations.

Our approach, whatever the format

Three principles every engagement runs on.

Scope to the decision

We start from the commercial or operational decision on the table, then work backwards to the data and analysis required to support it.

On the floor and in the model

Time studies, cycle observations, and cost models built from primary data, not assumptions. Our engineers work in the plant when the question demands it.

Deliver work that holds up

Every number we hand over traces back to where it came from. Outputs are concise and structured, and they hold up when an OEM buyer, a finance team or a plant manager asks how we arrived at it.
