Expert Manufacturing Engineering Services
As a manufacturing engineering consulting company, we understand that the success of your production process depends on many factors. There are many steps that need to be taken in preparation to ensure reliable, efficient production. Our expert team stands ready to assist you with any aspect of launching or optimizing your manufacturing processes.
From designing the layout and developing the manufacturing processes to refining and optimizing the design for manufacturability, we will ensure that everything is in place for a successful launch. And if you’re looking to improve an existing process, we can re-engineer it and implement lean principles to make it more time-efficient and cost-effective.
- Manufacturing Process Development: Our manufacturing engineering services specializes in enhancing the entire manufacturing process, from CNC programming to organizing kaizen events aimed at refining assembly procedures. We will collaborate with your team to identify the best processes, recommend essential equipment, streamline production workflows, design effective workstation layouts, and more, to ensure that you achieve maximum efficiency in your product manufacturing.
- Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA): Central to our strategy is DFMA, which is vital for developing designs that are manufacturable and can be consistently and repeatably produced. Our skilled manufacturing engineers offer valuable feedback to ensure the effective application of DFMA principles in your designs. Making these necessary adjustments before production begins ensures it can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively without compromising on quality or functionality.
- Value Analysis & Value Engineering (VA/VE): We employ VA/VE techniques to thoroughly assess your design and manufacturing processes. Our dedicated, cross-functional team dives deep into the functions of your product, identifying opportunities for cost reduction and proposing alternatives in design, material selection, manufacturing methods, and even logistics. Not only do we help you reduce costs, but we also maintain or improve functionality through our recommendations.
- Lean Manufacturing Engineering: Our seasoned experts are adept at guiding you through the adoption of lean principles to eliminate waste, implementing six sigma strategies to reduce output variation, and introducing various continuous improvement practices to cut costs, minimize errors, enhance quality, and maximize efficiency within your existing production line. We can analyze your current processes to help identify areas for improvement in methods, processes, tooling, and beyond.
- Supply Chain Management: Our engineers team up with supply chain managers to align production plans with inventory and customer demand. By optimizing the supply chain, we boost manufacturing efficiency, resulting in better production planning, quicker lead times, and enhanced operational performance. With strong in-house manufacturing and a diverse supplier network, we secure the best prices and lead times, ensuring a smooth production process from start to finish.
- Quality Control & Assurance: At PEKO, we take quality very seriously. Our team of manufacturing engineers works closely with our in-house quality team to establish, implement, and enforce robust quality control measures at every stage of production. This proactive approach enables us to detect and address any issues early on, mitigating safety risks and operational disruptions before they occur, and ensuring your manufacturing processes consistently meet the highest standards.
- Tooling Design & Development: As part of our manufacturing engineering services, we will develop the tooling necessary for effective mass production, ensuring that it is optimized for accurate, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing. Our team specializes in tailoring tool designs to meet your unique requirements, with a focus on enhancing reproducibility, reducing errors, and increasing productivity.
- Advanced CNC Programming: Our dedicated team works tirelessly to create, implement, and optimize advanced CNC programs that accurately translate your design into physical components repeatably, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Through the application of our in-depth CNC programming expertise, we ensure the realization of intricate, high-quality designs, even ones that were once deemed unachievable.
Prototype to Production: Bridging the Gap
Our manufacturing engineering services work in harmony with our NPI services to ensure a seamless transition from prototype to production. By maintaining a controlled build area within our NPI facility, we are able to produce limited pre-production pilot runs while closely collaborating with our NPI engineers. This integration allows us to identify and address any potential issues related to the product’s functionality early on, ensuring that the manufacturing and assembly processes do not impact the final product before full-scale production begins. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that every step of the manufacturing process is carefully monitored and optimized for efficiency and scalability.

Key Benefits of PEKO’s Manufacturing Engineering Services
The transition from design to manufacturing often poses challenges such as unstable production processes, manufacturability issues, or inadequate transfer of critical parameters and design intent between engineering and manufacturing teams, leading to costly program delays and quality issues. Ideally, products would be designed from their conception so that they can be readily manufactured using known process, but often times, this isn’t the case. PEKO mitigates these issues by providing on-site manufacturing engineering consulting expertise to address these concerns head-on, ensuring consistent, repeatable processes and a smooth transition from prototype to full-scale production.
Our manufacturing engineering services are designed to:
- Enhance quality and manufacturability
- Reduce operational costs and waste
- Minimize risk of errors and costly mistakes
- Ensure final product meets quality standards
- Enable more effective production planning
- Increase production line efficiencies
- Streamline manufacturing processes
We leverage state-of-the-art technologies and time-tested methodologies across our vertically integrated, turnkey manufacturing specialties to achieve these goals.
