Optimizing operational excellence through engineering and technology
Since 1993, our Methodology ISC has been refined with a unique focus on industrial optimization.
Our philosophy, the Common Sense Engineering, is built on a simple yet powerful idea:
We combine decades of experience with our own proprietary software (DGM, DGI, DGL) that analyzes machines, people, and production interfaces with precision and speed.
This approach reduces more than one 50% of analysis time, delivering measurable improvements and results that are directly reflected in profitability.
Our Identity and Vision
ISC (Ingeniería del Sentido Común) is a methodology developed since 1993 by Fernando Ruano, the result of over 40 years of experience across industrial sectors as diverse as automotive, naval, public works machinery, food processing, and components.
Our name reflects who we are: technical pragmatism and logical rigor applied to continuous improvement.
We understand that many clients believe their sector is unique, but in reality, all production processes share the same fundamentals:
They always involve people and machines, and both operate under the same laws of performance, coordination, and control.
That is why our methods adapt to any environment.
Products change, but the logic of efficiency is universal.
Our Mission: The Dual Lever of Competitiveness
Our goal is simple and powerful: to produce more in less time, with the same or even fewer resources, without sacrificing quality.
We base competitive improvement on two strategic levers:
- Deep process optimization through our low-investment approach (ABI²).
- Industry 4.0 Innovation, integrating technology, sensorization, and advanced control.
Our ISC Methodology: Industrial and Administrative Process Improvement
Our methodology combines proven industrial optimization tools with proprietary developments.
Continuous improvement is structured in three steps:
- Máquinas más rápidas.
We eliminate non-value-added time (NVAM) and maximize equipment performance. - Simple and effective interfaces
We reduce unnecessary movements, waiting, and transport (NVAI), improving the interaction between people and machines.
- The best working method
We balance the production line (Line Balance) to achieve a continuous and harmonious flow.
This approach is applied to both production processes as well as to administrative processes, always guided by the same principle:
Eliminate everything that does not add value
Advanced Engineering Services and Technological Solutions
In the era of digitalization, ISC expands its scope with solutions in applied engineering and IoT that integrate hardware, software, and process control:
- Industrial Process Design (DPI): We model optimized processes with statistical foundations and integrated quality control.
- Energy Efficiency (AhE): We reduce total energy consumption per hour of production.
- Automation and IoT: We design and manufacture electronic equipment for the measurement, control, and automation of processes.
- Custom Software: We develop proprietary tools (DGM Plus, DGI Plus) and custom solutions for production control and analysis.
Our Competitive Advantage: ISC makes the invisible visible
Our work focuses on identifying and eliminating everything that does not add value, improving productivity, efficiency, and profitability.
- Fast and profitable results: Low investment, high return.
- Focus on the essential: People and machines as universal pillars.
- Total adaptability: Our methodology works in any sector or organization.
