Review the phases of the program below. Phases can also be performed independently.

• Phase 1 - Organizational assessment: Assessment of market potential and organizational readiness
• Phase 2 – AM Education: Initial knowledge transfer to cross-functional team. Opportunities and limitations of AM
• Phase 3 – Portfolio Assessment: 2 day workshop on portfolio screening and part selection
• Phase 4 – Business Case Calculation: Calculate cost per part, utilization and output for high potential parts

At the end our starter program, you will have:

• screened dozens of parts and identified the most suitable candidates for AM
• redesigned one of your parts for a maximum leverage of AM
• developed an in depth understanding of production and part cost
• defined a roadmap for the successful implementation of AM

This program was designed to eliminate the costly up-front investments in time, talent, and technology that often prevent AM initiatives from getting off the ground. It’s time to accelerate your AM success.
