How to Lower Machined Part Costs by 50%
Class Overview
This a one-day class for Manufacturing Engineers and Machine Shop Management to learn how to apply LEAN Manufacturing
to lower the cost of Machined Parts
The Design for LEAN Manufacturing and Assembly Class presents unique concepts of how to design to leverage manufacturing processes to achieve extraordinary cost savings. A senior manufacturing company executive told David, his concepts of leverage has taken design for manufacturing to a new level of how to lower product costs.
This class is recommended for both the design and manufacturing Teams in companies that fabricate their own parts. They will learn how to design to leverage fabrication processes and how best to apply this concept in the shop. Class cover the best practices for designing fixtures and lowering machined parts cost,
Learn How to Leverage Manufacturing Processes to Dramatically Lower Cost:
- Design for LEAN Manufacturing to eliminate waste in manufacturing to achieve lowest costs.
- Learn what is process utilization & the hidden waste.
- Find out how the concept of utilization can leverage fabrication processes to:
Improve throughput & on time deliveries.
Shorten fabrication time.
Lower material cost.
Lower overhead cost.
Eliminates part shortages.
Dramatically lower processing costs.
- Learn where the leverage is in different fabrication process.
- How to design to maximize utilization.
- Design to lower material cost & eliminate drop.
Designing to Maximize Process Utilization Yields the Lowest Cost Design & Increases Company’s Profits.
Learn How to Cost Effectively Design Fabricated Assemblies & Weldments:
- Best practices for designing cost effective weldments.
- Learn how this will create new opportunities in product design & ways to lower costs.
- The technique of fixtureless welding & how to dramatically lower weldment cost.
- See how a capital equipment manufacturer significantly lowered new & existing machine product cost, lowered new machine tooling costs by a million dollars & reduced new machine product development time by a year.
- Improve weldment quality & strength with this lowest cost method.
- Use this design approach to lower cost in manufacturing to benefit product cost.
Workshop: Designing Weldments.
This Class Section Will Open New Way of Thinking About Product Design & How to Lower Costs.
Learn How to Lower Machined Part Costs by 50%:
- Hidden costs in every machining operation that are accepted as standard practice & learn how to eliminate.
- Best fixturing methods for different types of machines, different types of parts & part shapes.
- These methods focus on the three major cost factors:
Fixture cost & set up.
Part loading, flipping and unloading.
Maximize machine cutting time while minimizing tool change and movements.
- Best practices in designing fixtures to minimize loading, flipping & unload.
- Standardize fixture design, make fixtures multipurpose, reduce set ups & lower fixtures cost.
- Shorten part fabrication time & lower manufacturing costs.
- Apply the concepts learned in designing weldment & fixtureless welding to lower fixture cost.
- Learn how to design automatic welding stations.
