A Q s
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions from our customers.
Question:
What is unique about TII ?
Answer: TECHNOVATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (TII) , is a PERFORMANCE BASED research and innovation company. TII specializes in developing, improving and providing metallurgical and engineering solutions to enhance manufacturing efficiencies. Under the Performance Based concept, TII focusses its effort to reduce the cost of manufacturing and enhance the value of the products manufactured at TII's customers' (Partners')facilities. TII's compensation is based on the actual financial performance due to its effort.
Question:
What are some of the special services offered by
TII?
Answer: TII offers a partnering service called The Resource Planning & Management Partnership. This is a low risk and high returns strategy. Innovations in better resource utilization reduces manufacturing costs and increases productivity, which provides immediate results to the bottom line of TII's Partner. The program implements operating improvements and ensures a minimum cost reduction.
Question:
Why focus on resources and manufacturing
efficiency?
Answer: Cost of resources represent a significant portion of the controllable costs of most organizations. More efficient resource utilization with higher efficiency has a direct and positive impact on bottom line. Resource cost reduction is an important step towards the goal of an efficient manufacturing organization.
Question:
Why should a company work with TII?
Answer: Managing an organization in a highly competitive world requires strategic alliances with expert organizations, that can focus on important issues like productivity, quality and resources.
Question:
How does Partnering with TII work?
Answer: TII begins its Partnership by setting goals which are of strategic importance to its Partner. For example, reducing manufacturing costs with a savings in the range of 10 to 25%. TII analyzes the manufacturing processes, using its expertise on information management, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. TII identifies and implements the management & operational strategies and undertakes projects to meet these goals.
TII addresses efficient resource utilization and savings strategies with engineering, financial and management perspective. As the successful projects generate savings, TII shares the savings from improvements on an agreed ratio for three to five years. TII pays for most of the project expenses from its share of the savings. The result is a low risk high return strategy since TII's Partner retains all the savings after the project is complete,
Question:
What are the common elements essential for a
successful Partnership program?
Answer: TII's techniques in achieving resource planning and manufacturing cost reduction has evolved over many years, based on TII clients' diverse needs. Successful implementation requires a team approach; built on a spirit of trust, respect and sharing information to attain the goals.
Question:
What is the specific role of TII?
Answer: During the three years of project execution, the role and responsibility of TII will be:
- Provide its Partner with accurate information for knowledge based decision making and accurate data to evaluate strategies for efficient resource planning and improvements in manufacturing technologies. TII provides real time quantifiable information that enables immediate response capability to operating practices. This enables the Partnership to continuously monitor and improve manufacturing performance, reduce maintenance costs, improve quality, reduce emissions and pollution, increase component life, increase productivity and profitability.
- TII provides training for operating and supporting staff of its Partners to meet the goals,
- TII involves its Partner's personnel in identifying and/or developing innovative technology, applies information technology, mathematical simulation modeling, process optimization & control techniques and total quality management (TQM) methods to the critical manufacturing cost centers.
