Successes and Solutions

The Case Studies presented here show the diversity in the projects in which we particpate. We invite you to peruse the results we have achieved in collaborative efforts with our clients. Click here to view projects specific to our added capability in Control Systems Engineering.
  • Consumer Products / Plastics Molding: Production process technology conversion
    The client had successfully completed development trials of a new chemical process to replace outdated chemistry for a high volume consumer product. The new process had huge potential for increased productivity and process reliability as well as being more environmentally friendly. However … (Read more)
  • Bio/Pharma: Clinical Manufacturing Schedule Integration
    The project product was an aseptic vial filling line being developed for clinical trials manufacturing. The project scope involved a complete design and build of new facilities in an existing building where research and clinical manufacturing were ongoing. Apogee Management Group was retained to integrate all the deliverables into a map of the project yielding a comprehensive project schedule for the new manufacturing facility. (Read more)
  • Consumer Products: Production quality system for enhancement of process performanceCatalyst
    Quality problems for a consumer product had become pervasive and had finally penetrated into field installations. The impact of the quality breach was tremendous not just in financial implications but also damage to the customer base. (Read more)
  • Plastic Molding: Production capacity outsourcing
    Realignment of the client’s core competencies mandated an aggressive outsourcing program with domestic and international suppliers. (Read more)
  • Aerospace Industry: Process technology evaluation
    The client’s urethane foam molding process was beset with variability resulting in unacceptable productivity and extended setup times. (Read more)
  • Troubled Project: Production facility completion and startup
    The production facility installation for a molding operation had been largely completed but was not production ready. The budget had essentially been exhausted and customer demands required that production be flowing from part of the line as soon as possible. (Read more)
  • Plastic Molding - Agricultural Equipment: High performance plastic component production facility
    A production facility needed to be developed for processing a new plastic for high performance applications in the agricultural equipment market. There was limited experience with the system in actual production conditions. (Read more)
