Technical assistance

MCA is committed to its clients to give them everything they need to achieve their objectives.
The benefit of our method is our flexibility. We are able to adapt ourselves and our services to meet the needs of our clients.
Global technical assistance
As soon as possible MCA suggests :
Service center
This service is especially relevant to R&D departments which use external competencies. The service center is managed and followed by MCA’s technical division and requires a team of 4 to 5 consultants.
When our clients give us specifications, MCA’s commitments include the results, deadlines and costs. MCA has a quality system which decides the steps to follow: BID/NO BID, GO/NO GO, etc. MCA’s technical division controls the risks which were previously identified and calculated.
Consequently, MCA offers its services with an attention to detail that honors our commitments and satisfies our clients.
The service center process involves three steps:
Our clients give us specifications regarding the studies to be made. MCA analyzes the requirements and makes a catalog of the tasks to be carried out and the corresponding timeline. Our consultants immerse themselves in the environment and objectives of our clients.
This list of tasks is then tested and adjusted according to the feedback we received, always after client approval. Thus, we are able to evaluate the requested studies in a transparent and efficient way.
The service center starts its work on a specific and contractual date with a commitment to results.
Our clients can count on us for perfect transparency throughout the process. For us, this is the key to the success of our activity.

Major automotive companies are continuously investing in R&D, and the development cycles of all vehicles have been reduced in the past few years.

Today, the main issues the automotive companies have to deal with are related to safety, vehicle performance, environmental protection, and telecom systems in vehicles.
