Our methodologies are designed to minimize the impact on your day-to-day operations. Whether during an express diagnostic (1–2 weeks) or an optimization plan (3–5 weeks), our experts adapt to your production schedules and conduct the majority of data analysis work in the back office. On the shop floor, we schedule observations and workshops outside of critical production windows to avoid slowing down your operations. For implementation projects, we collaborate with you to define a realistic timeline that respects your run rate (e.g., scheduling interventions outside of peak periods or during planned shutdowns). In short, we ensure that continuous improvement happens without interrupting your flow—on the contrary, it integrates seamlessly into your operations. Each service has a defined duration agreed upon in advance, ensuring you retain full control of the schedule.

We systematically target a positive manufacturing ROI within 6 months. In concrete terms, this means that the gains generated by our recommendations or intervention quickly cover our fees within a few months. For example, a typical project can result in cost reductions or production increases valued at $100,000+ per year, for an investment of a few tens of thousands of dollars—a very rapid return on investment. In any case, we provide quantified analyses (potential savings, revenue growth, etc.) right from the diagnostic or planning stage, allowing you to accurately anticipate the ROI. During implementation, we track key performance indicators to measure realized gains in real time, ensuring you see the tangible value of your investment.

Yes! Several government assistance programs in Quebec support manufacturing optimization and training initiatives. For instance, programs such as ESSOR, Investissement Québec, STIQ, or others can fund a portion of the expenses related to a diagnostic assessment or an improvement project. In some cases, up to 50% of project costs can be reimbursed. We are highly experienced in supporting our clients through these administrative processes to maximize the subsidies obtained. In practical terms, this means your net investment can be significantly reduced, further improving your ROI. Do not hesitate to ask us for advice—we will guide you toward the most relevant assistance programs based on your project (as well as your region, company size, sector, etc.).

TEXION combines the best of both worlds. Unlike a traditional consultant, we don't just hand over a report – we stay until the solutions are successfully implemented. And unlike a staffing agency, we don't just provide you with isolated personnel: we bring structured expertise, management, and a commitment to results with every resource deployed. In short, we act as a performance partner: our engineers and technicians arrive with their own methods and innovative ideas, integrating into your team to solve your real-world problems. You retain control of your projects while benefiting from highly qualified technical support focused on your business objectives.

Your teams undoubtedly have a strong grasp of their production, and our goal is not to replace this internal knowledge, but to enrich it. By partnering with TEXION, you benefit from a fresh perspective and the collective experience gained from working with other manufacturers across the province. Our experts have led similar projects in diverse settings (SMEs, large enterprises, and various sectors), allowing them to identify opportunities that might be overlooked from the inside. Furthermore, we bring proven tools and methodologies (Lean management, data analysis, Industry 4.0 practices) to accelerate your improvements. Finally, during peak periods or for special projects, our technical outsourcing resources allow your employees to focus on their strengths while we handle specific tasks or side projects. Think of TEXION as a catalyst that takes your expertise to the next level – hand in hand with your teams.

Not at all. Our services are modular and adapt to your specific context. You can start with the one that best meets your current needs. For example, if you have already identified your challenges and want to go straight to a detailed action plan, we can deliver an Optimization Plan without first conducting a preliminary assessment. Likewise, if you already have a clear plan but lack the bandwidth to execute it, our team can step in directly through outsourcing or project management. Of course, these services form a cohesive continuum—many of our clients start with an assessment, then move on to the planning and implementation phases to maximize results. But you are always in the driver's seat: you are free to use just a single phase of the TEXION offering on an ad-hoc basis, or combine all three for end-to-end support. Our approach is designed to be à la carte, aligned with your business objectives and current reality.

TEXION operates across most manufacturing sectors. Our experts have hands-on experience in food and beverage processing, metal fabrication, plastics, and industrial assembly, among others. Our specialists tailor optimization principles (such as Lean and industrial management) specifically to your field. Before every project, we make sure to pair you with a consultant whose profile aligns with your sector and the nature of your processes. Furthermore, our local roots ensure we are well-versed in the specific regulations and challenges of Quebec (for instance, in the food and beverage or pharmaceutical sectors). You are therefore assured of an approach that is both highly specialized and relevant to your industry. In short, if you are a manufacturing company—regardless of your size or sector—we can certainly help you improve your performance.
