Sparta Engineering’s Approach to Design
-
IDEA
-
Sparta’s engineers start with ideas generated from:
- Meeting with our customer and asking questions
- Completing background research
- Determining the scope of the project
- Scheduling using Liquid Planner
-
-
PROTOTYPING
-
Sparta’s engineers turn concepts into models by:
- Brainstorming the best solution to a problem
- Creating a rough outline using 3D modelling
- Collecting lots of customer input
-
-
ANALYSIS
-
Sparta’s engineers prove concepts through analysis by:
- Creating custom-built analysis procedures
- Completing comprehensive finite element analyses
-
-
DESIGNING FOR MANUFACTURING
-
Sparta’s engineers design for manufacturing by:
- Considering manufacturing details
- Determining manufacturing tolerances
- Outlining purchased part specifications
- Completing part and assembly drawings
-
-
PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
-
Sparta’s engineers use a custom production management system to:
- Communicate design
- Distribute the production files and drawings
-
-
MANUFACTURING MANAGEMENT
-
Sparta’s engineers oversee the manufacturing process by:
- Managing all communication with the manufacturing team and making design decisions based on manufacturing processes.
- Acting on behalf of the customer throughout the build
- Generate a build record of production
-
-
TESTING + COMMISSIONING
-
Sparta’s engineers test their products at each stage by:
- Developing testing plans and executing them
- Using prototypes in the testing process
-
-
CERTIFICATION
-
Sparta’s engineers provide certification and inspection services by:
- Issuing stamped engineering certification
- Inspecting products by customer request
-
-
REVIEW + REFINEMENT + SUPPORT
-
Sparta’s engineers support the customer by:
- Creating post-production reviews
- Identifying opportunities for product improvement
- Providing ongoing customer support. For example: In the field, Sparta’s DesignShare App can help document and record inspection details and communicate them back to the engineer at Sparta who will oversee equipment repairs.
