Many engineering companies claim to offer high levels of quality. Indeed, given the advanced nature of modern CNC tools and inspection equipment, quality is often taken for granted…
I have been reading a remarkably interesting book called ‘The future is faster than you think’, which considers ‘how converging technologies are transforming business, industries and our lives’. I have lived through many of the developments that the writers use to illustrate the massive and increasingly supersonic speed of change…
Honesty might seem a strange word to apply to engineering. You’d normally expect engineers to be talking about precision, quality, capacity, machining, prototyping or delivery. Terms such as honesty and transparency rarely come into the equation; yet both are vital for every engineering business and every customer relationship.
The term ‘agile engineering’ has traditionally been associated with the field of software development, typically covering areas such as adaptive planning, flexible thinking, rapid delivery and continuous development, often with a ‘fail-fast’ methodology.
For a company such as Frazer Nash Manufacturing, with a long and proud history, heritage defines who we are, how we work and what makes us different to other companies.
