Production Optimization

1. Benchmark Process

Graphically display all variables of a manufacturing process as it is now performing

2. Review Data

Joint Engineering review of data to get consensus of machine operation

3. Define Goals

With engineering, determine what the process should be

4. Determine Game Plan

Create timeline for changes 

5. Implement Changes

Modify systems and monitor process for quality control

6. Update Documentation

Once all changes are made, update schematics, operation manuals, program listings, etc.

7. Train Personnel

Train personnel to maintain process as modified

1700 TON INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE

By Optimizing Cycle, Eliminated Third Shift And Saturday Production

PUNCH PRESS

Increased Production From 159 Parts / Hour To 235 Parts / Hour

LOW PRESSURE MOLDING PRESSES

By Reducing Cycle Time From 81 To 68 Seconds Were Able To Off-Load 3 Presses... Making Them Available For Other Work Eliminating The Need To Purchase 4 New Presses... $ Millions Saved

DOOR ASSEMBLY LINE

By Optimizing 45, 90 And Restrike Presses, Increased Line Throughput From 185 to 235 Doors Per Hour
