Our creative, value added engineering services are a hallmark of The Line Group's success. We do much more than just manufacture parts. We can and do help develop the design, improve the utility of the part, optimize it’s effectiveness, and follow through with all aspects of the process. We strive to be lean. We will get involved early on, interact directly with our customers, and work with other companies to produce a completed product that meets customer specifications. Our services include early supplier involvement, design review, prototyping, value analysis, testing and inspection, and project management. We can also help with material selection and we are skilled in reverse engineering already existing parts you bring to us.

Capabilities

Early Supplier Involvement		We will get involved in your project early on. Even if you just have an idea, we can turn it into reality and help bring it to market. We can anticipate potential problem areas and suggest engineering changes. We understand the necessity for product development and we are prepared to respond accordingly. CAD/CAM design software is available for your projects.

Design Review		We will review and enhance your drawings and ideas to ensure design optimization for manufacturability, efficiency, and cost effectiveness.

Value Analysis		We continually strive for best match between process and part. Our engineers carefully monitor your products and work with you to improve quality, enhance efficiencies and reduce costs. Our analyses will provide you with an ongoing competitive edge in your markets.

Prototype Development		We offer complete in house prototyping services. If you need rapid product introductions, we can create one part for review before full production. Once a prototype is created, additional changes may be needed, so we will work with you to revise accordingly.

Testing and Inspection		Inspection occurs at all levels of the manufacturing process. Inspection includes constant monitoring of incoming raw materials, first article samples, work in process, and finished good destructive and non-destructive testing. We firmly believe, however, that quality cannot be inspected into the product, but must be incorporated into the manufacturing process.

Project Management		We often assist customers with every aspect of their project. We may sit in on customer design and development meetings or meet with our customer's assembly department. We can turn stampings into full assemblies by working with other companies. When further processes are needed to make a part into a product, we can work with other manufacturers, in injection molding or die casting for example, to complete a product.

Quality Assurance		ISO 9001:2008 certified and registered Various software and reporting formats available (first article reports, PPAP's) All employees dedicated to absolute quality and continual improvement. Compliance with applicable EPA and OSHA regulations. In depth review of prints, procedures, process, tolerance and manufacturability. Statistical Process Control Ultimate goal is zero defects.

Environmental Considerations		Wastewater recycling plan. All ballasts and lights are environmentally friendly. We use brighter but less energy drawing light bulbs that can last up to 36,000 hours.
