Innovation in Process Quality for Enhanced Competitiveness in the Lobster Industry

克莱尔机械工程有限公司(CMW)是一家自豪的加拿大公司，为渔业提供广泛的工程服务和开发产品。随着龙虾渔业的不断发展，该公司已确定开发创新的龙虾诱饵自动切碎和装袋系统是增加其销售额的关键。随着市场的持续增长，CMW现在寻求新斯科舍社区学院(NSCC)S的支持，以通过高产出过程和改善产品的一致性来提高成本效益和生产效率。这将通过工艺质量的创新来实现，以增强其生产过程中的竞争力。访问NSCC的产品开发和工艺优化资源将有助于CMW获得有关其拟议技术的宝贵知识。除了让CMW人员接触应用研究外，这种类型的合作还将支持该公司在该领域发展业务的努力。来自这一应用研究项目的信息还将支持克服将拟议系统推向市场的优化过程中的障碍。所获得的技能将可转让给其他有需要的行业合作伙伴，因为有效的模块化设计可以演变为一种金融力量，可以极大地改善私营部门的竞争环境。此外，该项目的成果将使CMW能够以允许公司适应不断变化的市场需求的方式进行创新；这可以通过海鲜行业所有部门日益普遍的垂直整合来实现。

Clare Machine Works Ltd. (CMW) is a proud Canadian company providing a wide range of engineering services and developing products for the fishing industry. With the growing lobster fishing industry, the company has identified the development of an innovative lobster bait automatic chopping and bagging system as key to increase their sales. As the market continues to grow, CMW now seeks Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC)'s support to become more cost-effective, and efficient in production via a high output process with improved consistency of the product. This will be done through innovation in process quality for enhanced competitiveness in their production process. Accessing NSCC's product development and process optimization resources will help CMW gain valuable knowledge regarding its proposed technology. In addition to the exposure of CMW personnel to applied research, this type of collaboration will support the company in its efforts to grow its business in the sector. The information from this applied research project will also support overcoming the hurdles in the optimization process to move the proposed system to market. The skills gained will be transferable to other industry partners in need, as effective modular design can evolve to a financial force that can greatly improve the competitive environment within the private sector. Moreover, the outcome from this project will enable CMW to innovate in ways that permit the company to adapt to changing market demands; this can be achieved through the increasingly common vertical integration in all sectors of the seafood industry.
