Foundry Solutions & Design will provide assistance in “bench marking” the facility by providing evaluative elements for the following areas of  the foundry:

	design and prototype capability
	material control
	core making
	molding
	melting
	finishing
	analytic competence
	staff
	quality control
	gage and tool control
	machining
	environmental and safety
	internal costing and external pricing

    These evaluations, which can be done through learned observations, questionnaires and interviews serve as an important step in recognizing the needs of the enterprise as well as for comparative analysis to access one’s position of competence in the industry.
