PREFERRED BY LEADING OEMs Maxima's products are preferred by global OEMs such as AGCO, Caterpillar, CNH, Deere, Harley-Davidson, Ingersoll-Rand, Kubota, Linde, NACCO, Volvo and Textron. Here’s why:
Since 2001, we have employed 6-Sigma and Lean design and manufacturing techniques to ensure that products and services are on-target. More than 30 associates are certified as either Black, Green or Yellow Belts. Of particular note, key program and operations managers are Black Belts. Maxima also taps parent company Actuant's "LEAD" (Lean Enterprise Across Disciplines) toolbox in support of ongoing continual improvements. 6-Sigma is considered to be a "super tool" in the LEAD toolbox. ELECTRONICS & SOFTWARE Maxima's electronics and software capability is at the core of what we do, serving to drive innovation, systems integration and intelligent solutions that contribute to improved functionality and reduced vehicle cost. Software engineers are now located at each of our operations, and we have nearly tripled our resources since 2006. APPLICATIONS ENGINEERING Fundamental to global customer support is our applications engineering capability. Whether it's spec'ing out an instrumentation solution, developing a local system using global content, or troubleshooting an applications related implementation issue, Maxima has beefed up its resources to help OEMs get things done.
