This service is aimed at lifting the productivity of a manufacturing site and so its overall international competitiveness. This is a hand's on evaluation, comparision and recommendation activity that can improve the profitability of a factory. 
Industrial Productivity Assessment Services
Many broad-based standards and accreditation consultants do not actually involve improvements to the everyday production operations of the factory.
SIRA is more focused on improving production activities by assessing:
- Machinery units
- Tooling
- Materials
- Operating Conditions
- Part Design
- Management
We also compare the client's manufacturing operations with relavant local and foreign sites to provide a dynamic comparision of international competitiveness.
The steps we undertake are follows:
- Definition of scope with client
- Format outline of result (ISO module, customized, etc)
- Site visit, discussion and inspection
- Ancillary off-site data collection
- Follow-up data requests with client
- Analysis of data (including benchmarking)
- Draft report or conclusions to client
- Additional data and refinement
- Final report and/or presentation to client
A typical SIRA productivity/competitiveness assessment report includes:
- Executive Summary
- Manufacturing Operations Overview
- Operations Capability Status Assessment
- Technology Capability Status Assessment
- Benchmarking
- Key Trends and Developments
- Rating
- Recommendations For Improvement/Development
Most of our expertise in productivity assessment is within the plastics and rubber industries. We especially find considerable demand for such work with injection molding and film extrusion sites where we have designed unique systems guides for clients to continue their drive to lift productivity into the future. We do not know any other organization that provides this service to the plastics and rubber industries. Machinery suppliers only detail trouble shooting guides for their equipment - we provide the full production process productivity package.
SIRA works with Asia-Pacific industry, government and other organisations in collecting data, undertaking first stage analysis and also providing advice for realistic solution options for improvement. In some issues we are the only such certification authority in the Asian region. SIRA's assessment and certification expertise in the Asia-Pacific region also includes:
Please Note for:
- Manufacturing Due Diligence
- Industrial Waste Audit
- Labor Practices Audit
- Materials Cost Audit
- Occupational Safety and Health Assessment
- Recycling Audit
Our work is commercial and industrial in nature and not academic - we deal with the hard facts and potential cost-effective solutions.
- ISO program certification - SIRA prefers to refer organisations to consultants that are accredited for this in your nation. Despite numerous requests, SIRA does not see a need to duplicate these existing certification services. (Yes, we do sub-contract market, waste and productivity analysis for ISO consultants)
- Quality Control certification - SIRA prefers to refer organisations to consultants that are accredited for the many QC certification available (ABC, JIT, Juran, Kanban, TQC, etc) located in your nation. Again, despite numerous requests, SIRA does not see a need to duplicate these existing certification services. Of course we can advise you how to meet such quality control programs.
Please note that most certification results are confidential to clientele. The aim is to improve the competence of the organisation, rather than punish them for past or existing problems and conditions. It is easier to criticise than to find the solution - we seek to reveal the problems and assist in the solution - this is progress.
