Engineering services are clearly a boon to the

The following logical process is followed by Engineering Services to aid companies to meet high volume customer needs. The engagement kick-starts with the service provider sending some of its engineers with the required skills/competencies and abilities to the customer locations, for knowledge capture; this involves understanding the customer's products and services, systems and processes, tools and applications, standards and conventions, and most importantly, to build working relationships with the customer's engineering teams. The engineers, on-return set up the systems, processes and environment to integrate the customer's product development lifecycle into their offshore development processes. A communication plan is set up and this helps in data transfer directly between the customer engineers and engineers in a seamless manner. This speeds up the interactions and turn-around time for work package execution. Engineering Services Outsourcing also supports long term strategic customers by getting involved in their new product design cycle and capturing their marketing and field inputs. They engage with customers at both ends of product development and design which helps to understand customer needs, as well as understanding the issues in the field after installation. Some aerospace engineering services leverage their in-house talent from various universities they have tie-ups with, and also from other organizations or bodies related to the industry. These services ensure their engineers have extensive manufacturing experience who could take decisions from the grass-root level on process planning, simulation of cutting process, fixture designs and tooling. The service engineers work collaboratively within a team to arrive at a right design which would yield the required end results like reduced cycle time, reduced tool change-over time and so forth. These service divisions support their customers by leveraging its vendor management and supply chain skills in helping customers in manufacturing components and providing them with low cost, high quality fixtures and tooling.

Some of the other areas include - high speed five axis machining centres, turning machines, universal machining centres and boring machines, CNC rotary system designs and vertical machining centres. Services are also available in areas related to 4-cylinder engine blocks, Cylinder heads, Pistons, Crankshafts, Connecting rods, Braking systems & components, Turbine blades, Engine components, Airframe sub structures, Impellers, Landing gear subsystems, Wing boxes, etc. It all boils down to choosing an experienced service provider who can offer services from a SEZ located near the manufacturing unit. Their consistent focus on each of the specialized areas can aid companies to reap high returns in a short period.
