ENGINEERING METHOD 06 STEPS
FROM CONSTRAINT TO RESULTObserve the process. Measure the loss. Engineer and validate the intervention.
01 / 06My engineering edge
The useful work happens at the boundary.
I start with the physical process, then bring in sensing, electronics, software or automation when they remove a real constraint.

Selected work
Five engineering problems worth investigating.
Start with the result. Open the case study when the engineering reasoning matters.
01Manufacturing · Sensors · Precision Fixture
IMU-Based Manufacturing Fixture
Repeated rework occurred because the top-plate shaft could jam in the chamber hole, creating assembly delays and line-down risk.
90% cycle-time reduction, more than $1M annual savings, and elimination of line-down events caused by the jam condition.
