Revolutionizing Pre-Manufacturing Processes with Negmax
Accelerate and Streamline Your Operations Through Expert Process Enhancement

Pre-manufacturing processes encompass everything that happens before the manufacturing order comes in. For custom manufacturers, these tasks typically include:

• Sales, quotations, cost calculations and customer communication.

• Parts design (Computer-Aided Design or CAD), modifications, BOM  and detailed drawings preparation.

• Machine tool code generation (Computer-Aided Manufacturing or CAM).

• Production plan and travel documents.

• Documents preparation.

• Inventory and supplier communication.

• ERP system update.

These processes, while essential, often consume considerable human resources and significantly impact lead times and total process costs. By targeting these tasks for improvement, we often find that they present excellent opportunities for rapid gains — the low-hanging fruit in many custom manufacturing operations.

We handle project uncertainty by utilizing Agile Scrum methodology, which provides flexibility while delivering usable outputs as soon as possible. In certain scenarios, we also adopt a Hybrid (Waterfall + Agile) approach to ensure maximum efficiency and results.

Before we dive into enhancing your pre-manufacturing processes, we should first undertake the Process Discovery 

step. This allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your current operations and identify potential areas for improvement.
