   "The new project would focus on two main areas for improvement. Design a body to minimize corrosion; design a body and manufacturing jigs and fixtures that would employ a more efficient manufacturing process and effectively utilize the capabilities of our newly purchased CNC manufacturing equipment to reduce costs and allow Tri-Star to scale up.",
   "Design and Manufacturing Improvements for Ambulance Production including: • Door design, manufacturing, and attachment of doors to bodies • Inspection processes • Configure Price Quote",
   "The Firm will digitize and automate its engineering document control processes. With support from NRC IRAP, the firm will upgrade from Autodesk Vault Basic to Vault Professional, enabling structured version control, automated release workflows, and secure access for non-CAD users. The project enhances consistency, compliance, and efficiency across production documentation—minimizing rework, improving traceability, and reducing engineering administrative burden.",
   "To reduce reliance on U.S. supply chains and improve manufacturing efficiency, the company is undertaking an automation project with support from the IRAP program. The initiative will implement integrated automated systems to streamline production, enhance consistency, and reduce manual rework. These technologies will address labour-intensive and quality-sensitive tasks, increasing flexibility and throughput. Funding will support internal labour for system setup, integration, and training, as well as consulting for programming and workflow optimization. Feasibility of additional automation wil",
   "Acquire advance manufacturing equipment to increase productivity and efficiency",
   "Hire expertise to integrate its paint shop in its manufacturing process",
   "The manufacturing Design (to Build) project at Tri-Star will leverage new technologies, new processes, and new talent to alter existing designs and manufacturing processes creating a robust design process that does not only full fill external customer expectations but will engaged production staff in a right-the-first-time production process that minimizes unnecessary waste.",
   "Bringing the BOM under the control of the engineering department requires a restructure of the current file structure and adapting the processes that are currently in place. The new position will be used to help with the reorganization of the processes and file structure to enable the BOM to be completed within the engineering departments scope of work.",
