FAQ
Questions about manufacturing consultancy and machine shop improvement
Practical answers for owners and managers considering support with CNC processes, lean workflow, training, or capacity decisions.
Do you work with small machine shops?
Yes. Triaxis is focused on practical support for machine shops and engineering businesses that need hands-on help rather than generic management consulting.
Can Triaxis help before buying a new CNC machine?
Yes. A review before investment can clarify whether the constraint is machine capacity, programming, tooling, workflow, skills, scheduling, or a mix of factors.
Do you provide hands-on support or only advice?
Triaxis is built around practical support. The aim is to work with the team on real processes and leave behind improvements people understand.
What areas do you cover?
Triaxis is based in Tamworth and works with manufacturers across the Midlands and wider UK where the fit is right.
How does a first conversation work?
The first conversation is used to understand the shop, the current pressure, what has already been tried, and whether Triaxis is likely to be useful.
Can you train our existing team?
Yes. Training and skills development can support programmers, setters, operators, and managers using practical examples linked to real work.
How quickly can improvements start?
Some improvements can start after a focused diagnostic identifies the right priority. The timing depends on the problem, team availability, and the level of change needed.
Do you work on one-off projects?
Yes. Support can be shaped around a focused project, a diagnostic review, training, or ongoing improvement work.
What information should we prepare before contacting Triaxis?
Useful information includes the main bottleneck, machine types, current setup or lead-time issues, team structure, recent investments, and what outcome you want to improve.
Still deciding what support you need?
Start with the current pressure: setup time, workflow, skills, quality, capacity, or investment planning. Triaxis can help work out the right first step.
