5S
The 5 s'are prerequisites for any improvement program. As waste is potential gain, so eliminating waste is a gain. 5S philosophy focuses on effective workplace organisation, simplifies work environment, and reduces waste while improving quality and safety.
Process improvement techniques
Process improvement techniques, such as lean and six-sigma, are increasingly being used to redesign and fine-tune processes
Renewable energy technologies in affordable homes
MERI is involved in a project which is examining the effectiveness of Rotherham's Henley Rise Eco-Homes development
Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants can help in determining opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, can assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
Simulation of engineering environments
We provide a broad range of consultancy services which draw on a unique combination of systems engineering, operational analysis and technology capabilities
Solar Energy Research, Development and Commercialisation Programme
Facilities, projects, publications and services on solar energy research, development and commercialisation programme.
Renewable energy
Our services in the renewable energy sector in feasibility studies, performance monitoring, efficiency assessment and much more
Innovative construction materials
We have a strong track record of undertaking research and development for the creation of new materials from waste. We can also apply corrosion prevention methodologies to extend a product's life and have developed new coatings, all meeting environmental legislation, for a range of innovative applications.
Value stream mapping
Value Stream Mapping provides a diagrammatic depiction of the entire supply chain to ensure a complete and shared understanding of what is happening at the different stages within it
Elemental analysis
We can perform elemental analysis on a wide range of materials by using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). We have a state-of-the-art X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer that can provide manufacturers with detailed information on the composition of solids, powders and liquids.
