PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Maxima’s program management function ties all activities together to ensure a high-quality result when implementing a project, blending customer requirements in a way that's compatible with OEM requirements.
INTEGRATED PRODUCT & QUALITY PLANNING (IPQP)
Maxima uses “Integrated Product & Quality Planning” (IPQP) to plan, organize and implement a new program. Based on Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), IPQP is a proven, QS-9000 certified process that effectively enables our team to manage complex projects.

MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY
Maxima’s unique manufacturing and assembly capability is a core strength. Our facilities operate with lean manufacturing in mind, focusing on one-piece synchronous flow, “pockets of automation” (POA) and automation aimed at mistake-proofing. Each facility is well established as a “center of excellence” for a particular product or capability.
