Manufacturing

We offer practical advice to manufacturers to help them realise process efficiencies and make them more competitive.

Our team of engineers is experienced in a range of disciplines including product design, machining, polymer chemistry, materials science, automation, process improvement, supply chain management and best practice exchange.

The team's key aims revolve around reducing cost, improving capacity, winning new business and creating employment.

Troubleshooting: RTC NorthWest's parent company, RTC North, is home to the Department of business and Regulatory Reform's Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) for the North East. An excellent first port of call for process efficiency issues, MAS North East is proving invaluable to local manufacturers and has added over £25m to the value of manufacturing businesses since May 2002.

Mentoring: Our heavily subsidised mentoring programmes have added value to manufacturers in the North of England estimated to be over £7m since 1997. Throught the programme representatives from exemplar companies are engaged as mentors during the six month long consultancy period and previous schemes have focussed on topics including continuous improvement, health and safety, 5S, six sigma and marketing.

Best Practice: RTC North has organised the Inside North East Industry (INEI) best practice visit programme for over 15 years. Since 1992, over 90 exemplar companies have opened their doors, providing an insight into a range of issues key to improving operating efficiency.
