Lean Process Improvements

CDG offers Lean Process Evaluation Assessments designed to help you get a “jump start into Lean”. Our highly trained Lean experts can guide you through a deep dive look at your operations, and identify the most significant challenge areas of your business where Lean process improvements could make an impact. Starting with a short, week-long assessment project, we work side by side with your teams to gather in-depth information about your current processes, and provide detailed, objective reports on the findings within a few days of completing the evaluation assessment. Once the initial evaluation is completed, we can recommend specific solutions and next steps based on your unique requirements.

Engineering Data Conversion

CDG’s Engineering Data Conversion Services include:

• Engineering Data Conversion Services—Conversion to/from a number of engineering data formats, including CATIA, AutoCAD, Pro-E, Solidworks, and others. CDG also provides conversion of scanned raster images of engineering drawings and illustrations to vector output in a number of selected software formats and delivery platforms.
• Document Scanning / Digital Imaging Services – Digital scanning and indexing of paper, aperture cards, microfilm, microfiche, engineering drawings, and blueprints in high security CDG facilities, or on-site at your facility.

Engineering Systems Management

Process improvements often go hand in hand with technology such Document and Content Management Solutions (engineering systems management). Our trained and certified Solutions Architects have extensive experience in enterprise systems planning and implementation, and can help implement a document repository platform such as CDG’s Secure On-Demand™ hosted “vault” for storing engineering documents, or through implementation of a leading document management solution such as Hyland OnBase®.

CDG is responsible for ongoing development and product support of the Data Renaissance Suite™ toolset. These advanced commercial software tools are specifically designed to lower the life cycle cost of technical data management and maintenance activities for mission-critical, complex equipment and systems. The world-class capabilities of Data Renaissance Suite™ have been demonstrated through award-winning deployments of Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) for the Apache Longbow, C-130, F/A-15 and F/A-18 programs. These tools can be applied to either military or commercial equipment data.
