Danaven Evidence-led manufacturing transformation

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.
