Twenty five years of OEM and Tier 1 plant floor triage

We deploy directly to stamping presses, machining centers, and supplier facilities across North America to stabilize critical launch milestones.

About JB Technical Assistance

Cutting Through Plant-Floor Noise to Deliver Technical Truth

When a critical launch milestone is slipping, a stamping line is plagued by springback, or a Tier-1 supplier is in distress, plant leadership doesn't need more slide decks or general consulting advice. They need an experienced operational expert who can walk onto the floor on Day 1, identify the root cause, and stabilize the process.

Founded by an automotive and manufacturing engineering veteran with over 25 years of hands-on experience—including deep roots in Supplier Technical Assistance (STA) with Ford Motor Company, OEM launch management with Stellantis, and supplier recovery—JB Technical Assistance provides elite, independent 1099 intervention for manufacturing plants across Michigan and the Midwest.

  • Decades of Shop-Floor Credibility: Proven track record leading multidisciplinary teams, resolving out-of-spec datum schemes, correcting robotic weld fixture instability, and steering programs through rigid PPAP and SOP gates.

  • Objective, Unbiased Advisory: Operating entirely free from internal plant politics, shift-blame culture, or corporate bureaucracy to get straight to the technical truth.

  • Immediate Crisis Response: Available for high-urgency short-term contracts, on-site audits, and targeted quality firewalls before customer audits or launch deadlines hit.

When failure is not an option, JB Technical Assistance provides the engineering authority and rigorous problem-solving required to protect your plant's schedule and profitability.

Line-Side Intervention

Calibration at the press bed

Critical manufacturing deadlines are won on the concrete, not inside boardroom status reviews. When high scrap rates threaten start-of-production deadlines, we inspect physical die condition, verify shut heights, and measure thermal stability under production tonnage.

Our senior engineers work shoulder to shoulder with your line operators and toolmakers. We isolate root causes within hours, establishing immediate containment and clear tooling adjustments that protect OEM delivery commitments.

Zero Slideware

Tolerance drift yields to physical measurement, not advisory slide decks.

Every operational recommendation we provide is backed by coordinate measuring machine data, dimensional run charts, and verified press shut heights recorded directly on site.

Core Capabilities

Disciplined manufacturing protocols

Tooling Validation

Stamping die qualification

Comprehensive buy-off management for multi-station transfer and progressive dies. We verify trim steel clearances, form station draw depths, and part ejection repeatability under actual production press speeds.

Dimensional Control

Root-cause containment

Expert technical advisory and root-cause problem-solving to cut through plant-floor noise and get to the technical truth—resolving out-of-spec datum schemes, subassembly distortion, and erratic robotic weld fixtures before customer quality audits.

Milestone Protection

Supplier recovery protocols

On-site intervention at distressed Tier-1 production facilities. We audit raw material variability, stabilize unproven CNC machining paths, and enforce strict PPAP validation sequences to recover overdue ship schedules.
