You Ask. We Answer.

The key to making the right decisions is asking the right questions. Here are a few of the questions you should be asking yourself. We’ll be happy to help you find the answers.

  • How much money do I have tied up in nuts and bolts on the floor?

  • How many inventory turns am I getting for each fastener/bin stock?

  • Am I at the right min/max levels for maximum productivity?

  • What are my usage patterns and bin quantities?

  • What is my on-time delivery percentage?

  • What cost savings am I getting from my supplier?

Engineering Services FAQs

Optimas provides application, manufacturing, and industrial engineering services focused on improving product design, simplifying manufacturing, and reducing operational costs. Services include fastener and joint design, BOM analysis, part consolidation, line walks, rapid prototyping, testing, and production optimization.

Engineering services improve efficiency by reducing part complexity, optimizing fastening and installation methods, and identifying waste within production processes. Through line walks, BOM optimization, and design-for-manufacturing practices, Optimas helps increase throughput while reducing labor and material costs.

Part consolidation reduces the number of unique components used across products or platforms. By consolidating and standardizing parts, manufacturers can lower procurement costs, simplify inventory management, reduce complexity, and improve production consistency without sacrificing performance.

BOM analysis identifies opportunities to eliminate redundant parts, standardize components, and reduce overall system complexity. A more efficient bill of materials improves sourcing leverage, reduces inventory risk, and accelerates speed to market for new or updated products.

Line walks involve engineers evaluating production lines in real operating conditions to identify inefficiencies related to space, tooling, workflow, installation methods, and part usage. These insights often uncover immediate opportunities for productivity gains and labor savings.

Optimas engineers support new product development through design optimization, joint analysis, prototyping, testing, and production recommendations. This helps ensure products are designed for manufacturability, performance, and scalability before full production begins.

Optimas uses advanced engineering tools such as SolidWorks, BoltCalc joint design and simulation, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and performance testing. These technologies support faster validation, reduced risk, and data-driven design decisions.

Engineering services improve quality by optimizing fastener selection, installation methods, and material performance. Testing, simulation, and quality planning help ensure components meet functional, durability, and performance requirements under real-world conditions.

Manufacturers should engage engineering services when facing rising costs, excessive part counts, inefficiencies on the production line, quality challenges, or during new product development. Early engineering involvement often delivers the greatest long-term operational and financial impact.
