ISC, Common Sense Engineering
The Formula to Optimize Production and Produce More with Less
ISC is a formal and proven method, which we have been developing since 1993 across multiple sectors, designed to improve any process quickly, simply, and at very low cost. Our primary objective is crystal clear: increase production and productivity, using the same resources or even fewer, while maintaining the current level of quality. We focus on extracting the full potential of what already exists, making visible where efficiency is lost by concentrating on the essential elements of every process, in any industry and sector: people and machines..
Our 3-Step Methodology
Step 1: Faster Machines
We thoroughly analyze every micro-movement and function of your machinery to optimize its cycle time (DGM+), dramatically increasing speed without compromising final product quality..
Step 2: Simpler Interfaces
We study the interaction between people and machines (DGI+) to design simpler, more ergonomic, and more efficient workflows. We eliminate unnecessary movements and reduce variability to achieve smooth and consistent operations.
Step 3: The Best Working Method
We balance the entire production line (DGL), synchronizing machines and people to create a continuous and harmonious flow. We eliminate bottlenecks and maximize the capacity of the entire system.
Breaking the Myth of Industrial Uniqueness
Often, companies believe that their sector is "too unique" or "too complex" for radical optimization. We call this the “Myth of Uniqueness”.
Our response, based on Common Sense Engineering (ISC), is simple yet challenging: Every manufacturing process, in any industrial sector, fundamentally comes down to two essential elements: people and machines..
ISC stands out from other methodologies because it targets improvements at the most basic level of the process: people and machines.
The Universal Law of Industrial Operation
The reason ISC is adaptable to any type of process and organization lies in its fundamental approach:
Universal Structure: The ISC methodology uses a bottom-up approach (Bottom-up approachthat rigorously breaks down any industrial operation into the interaction of:
- Machinery: Machine cycle time (Step 1: Faster Machines).
- Human Work: The interface or manual work (Step 2: Simple and Effective Interfaces).
This three-part division (Machines, People/Interfaces, and Line Balancing) is the universal way to describe any industrial process.
No matter how complex your final product may seem; if there are machines and/or people, there is hidden inefficiency, and the ISC Methodology has the tools to make the invisible visible, ensuring results superior to other methodologies with very low investment.
Stop thinking you’re different.
Start optimizing where all processes are the same: in the interaction between technology and the human factor.
