Trans-Matic has a dedicated team of Advanced Product Development specialists that become intimate with our selected customer’s product teams and product needs at the conceptual stages. This same APD team has accredited value analysis and value engineers for our customer’s VA/VE activities. This VA/VE capability is essential to achieve our customer’s cost reduction objectives.
Trans-Matic APD activities have focused on the redesign of costly screw machine parts into lower cost deep drawn stampings. Trans-Matic VA/VE activities have redesigned multiple piece assemblies into complex, one-piece deep drawn stampings. Our reverse engineering efforts have reduced or eliminated components within an assembly many times creating a more reliable metal structure.
