Continuous Improvement-Lean Six Sigma & Government Funding Experts
Book an Appointment
An excellent tool and die team is an essential component of a manufacturing system. The skill and efficiency of a tool and die team ensures that design, engineering, scheduling, delivery, and production goes as planned for any project. These projects can include custom machinery, air, and hydraulic presses, as well as jigs and fixtures. If your team uses items of low quality during their project, then it will have poor durability, meaning the entire project is likely to fail. As a result, your costs will add up in the manufacturing process, and this will hurt your company’s performance.
In addition to the tangible financial benefits possible through lean, much of the research and development efforts (labour, materials, and subcontracts) required in the Tool & Die sector could be eligible to be recovered through government funding, such as through the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program in Canada.
There are applicable government grants to aid with the upfront costs of corporate training that is typically required during the implementation of Lean Six Sigma / Continuous Improvement methodologies. There are also other grants specifically designed to cover costs associated with process improvement implementation, exports, sales, and marketing. AMSaxum experts in government funding help with the application of these grants and with the preparation of SR&ED claims.

Some of the most frequent challenges that tool and die businesses can come across are:
According to recent studies, 70% of tool and dies struggle because the quality of heat treatment isn’t high enough. When the hardness of the products lack consistency and bending and distortions result after heat treatment, your operation will not run as intended. At AMSaxum Inc., we can help address even the most complicated of issues in an efficient manner by implementing Lean Six Sigma techniques into your business.
One way in which we enhance your tool and dies practices is by implementing the trusted Lean Six Sigma Lean Manufacturing or Lean Production methods. This system reduces waste in production without getting in the way of productivity.
Our philosophy, when it comes to lean manufacturing, is to consider factors like customer value, which is why we reduce waste and activities with no value.
