Free On-Site Machine Tool Audit

Audit Process

A practical plan for improving machining productivity

We inspect the areas most likely to be restricting output, then show you which changes could make the greatest difference to productivity and cost per part.

We explain the recommendations

We present the findings, explain which improvements should be considered first and answer your questions. You decide whether to act on any recommendation—there is no obligation to buy.



Is Your Workshop Losing Capacity?

Eight signs your machining process is costing more than it should

  • Chatter, vibration or inconsistent surface finish
  • Tools wearing out earlier than expected
  • Setup and changeover times restricting output
  • Components requiring unnecessary additional setups
  • Scrap and rework increasing the cost per part
  • Machine capacity becoming a production bottleneck
  • Work being outsourced because internal capacity is unavailable
  • Automation plans being limited by process inconsistency

Recognise any of these signs? A free on-site audit can identify the cause and show you which improvements to prioritise. Request your free on-site audit
