What we do
Danaven supports advanced manufacturers to modernise production systems — from R&D and pre-production through to industrialisation, commissioning and operational handover.
Digital engineering & manufacturing systems
- Manufacturing digitalisation and operational system integration
- MES / digital factory delivery oversight and stabilisation
- Requirements, interfaces, digital thread and lifecycle governance across production systems
Automation & industrialisation
- Automation cells and manufacturing capability introduction
- NPI / technology transfer from R&D and pre-production into industrialised build
- Commissioning support, risk reduction and performance ramp-up
Industrial data & applied AI
- Use cases that improve quality, yield and decision-making
- Data readiness, validation approach and deployment pathways
- Engineering assurance for AI-enabled systems
Programme mobilisation & recovery
- Governance reset, integrated plans and delivery cadence
- Risk, dependency and change control strengthened
- Stakeholder alignment and delivery momentum restored
Manufacturing performance & flow optimisation
- End-to-end value stream analysis to expose constraint and handover friction
- Productivity improvement focused on flow, capability and variation reduction
- Measurement system analysis to ensure data supports decisions
- Sustained gains through standard work, controls and operational ownership
How we typically engage
Engagements are tailored, but typically fall into a small number of proven delivery patterns.
Programme mobilisation & recovery
Rapid stabilisation of complex programmes through clarified governance, integrated plans, risk control and delivery cadence.
Pre-production to industrialisation
Support transitioning R&D and pre-production capability into industrialised build, including readiness, commissioning and operational handover.
Digital manufacturing delivery leadership
Delivery control for MES, digital factory and OT/IT programmes, ensuring integration, assurance and safe deployment.
Manufacturing performance & flow intervention
Targeted interventions using value stream insight, data integrity and system behaviour to improve throughput, yield and stability.
Technical assurance & governance (fractional)
Senior technical authority support to strengthen design governance, supplier assurance and milestone readiness without full-time overhead.
