Manufacturing Engineering

Pinnacle is a regional leader in manufacturing engineering
and process development for high-volume production and
assembly operations. Pinnacle manufacturing engineering
teams provide comprehensive project management; we also
provide specialized skill sets to support individual program
stages, including these 12 key areas:

• Feasibility studies
• Structural analysis
• Concept engineering
• Process simulation and “what if” modeling
• Bid pack development
• Procurement and vendor selection
• Scheduling
• Demolition and decommissioning
• Construction project management
• Assembly-line balancing
• Workstation ergonomics
• Controls engineering and plc programming

Pinnacle manufacturing engineering teams provide
seamless, multi-discipline support for manufacturing and
assembly projects of all scopes and sizes. We have extensive
capabilities for analyzing the effectiveness of all aspects of the
facility that impact productivity. Analyses we provide are:

• Facility layout
• Throughput analysis
• Process flow
• Material flow
• Material handling

Pinnacle manufacturing engineering specialists support client
personnel at all levels within the organization. We offer objective
analyses of work methods, perform detailed cycle time analyses
to identify the richest opportunities for improvement, and work
with customer teams to improve department, plant, or supply
chain productivity.

At its finest, manufacturing engineering means evaluating a
situation from the broadest perspective. “Productivity
improvement” might call for more, or less – or different –
automation. Optimizing material handling through reduced
cycle time may seem to demand new controls or other
equipment; but the identification and elimination of non-value
added material handling steps may have the potential
for even greater savings.

In most facilities, the “easy improvements” were completed
long ago. Pinnacle manufacturing engineering teams have the
resources and experience to achieve the more challenging goals faced by today’s facility managers.
