Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis using AIAG-VDA methodology. Input process flow diagram — output complete PFMEA with severity-occurrence-detection rankings, special characteristics flagged, and control recommendations. OEM-submission ready.
IATF 16949-compliant control plans from PFMEA and process flow data. All three phases: prototype, pre-launch, and production. Special characteristics from DFMEA and PFMEA automatically linked.
Design Verification Plan and Report from your DFMEA risk register. Complete test matrix with test name, specification, sample size, acceptance criteria, and timing. High-RPN items flagged for priority.
OEM-format 8D from structured problem description. All D1–D8 sections: team, problem statement, containment, root cause (Ishikawa + 5-Why), corrective action, prevention. Ready for Ford, GM, or Stellantis portal.
Advanced Product Quality Planning across all 5 phases. Gate reviews, deliverable tracking, DFMEA and PFMEA integration, and full documentation set for new product launches.
Quality management system gap audit against IATF 16949 requirements. Written findings with clause-level gap identification and prioritized action plan. 5–10 business days.
The complete OEM documentation stack: DFMEA → DVP&R → PFMEA → Control Plan → PPAP. Every deliverable linked, every document in RigidVault with a Digital Birth Certificate. Level 3 PPAP submission ready. The only engineering consultant who delivers this end-to-end, AI-accelerated, with sovereign IP protection built in.
GM Advanced Vehicle Development, Cruise Origin seating systems. Full vehicle architecture, occupant protection, FMVSS compliance context.
GE jet turbine components. Tight tolerances, material properties, high-consequence design environments.
MRAP vehicle programs. MIL-SPEC requirements, ruggedized design, defense supply chain documentation standards.
DePuy and Biomet implant and instrument design. FDA-regulated environments, biocompatibility, surgical workflow context.
30 minutes. You describe the project. We scope it, ask the right questions, and determine if SOLIDWORKS is the right tool. No charge.
Written scope of work with a flat fee. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before any work begins.
We do the work. AI-augmented workflow means faster turnaround than traditional consulting. You get progress updates at defined milestones.
SOLIDWORKS native files, drawing packages, reports — whatever the scope included. One delivery, complete package, ready for your next step.
Why fixed-scope? Because hourly billing creates the wrong incentives. We know the work, we know what it takes, and we price it accordingly. If we scope it wrong, that’s on us — not you.
Traditional SOLIDWORKS consulting bills by the hour because traditional consulting moves at human speed. We’ve integrated AI into the workflow — not to replace the engineering judgment, but to compress the time between brief and deliverable.
DFM analysis that takes a senior engineer 12 hours takes our workflow 2. A scan-to-CAD conversion that takes 3 days takes us half a day. A drawing package review that costs $2,000 at a traditional firm costs $400 here.
The engineering judgment — 30 years of it — is still in every deliverable. The AI handles the repetitive work so that judgment can focus on what actually requires it.
Every project is scoped and priced as a flat fee before work begins. Pricing is based on deliverable complexity and output format — not on how long it takes us. The AI-augmented workflow means our fixed fees are competitive with or below traditional hourly rates for equivalent output quality.
