CASE STUDY: PACIFIC’S PROCESS WORKS FOR AUTOMOTIVE CUSTOMER

Here is a real-world example of how Pacific helped a North American Tier 1 automotive supplier company decrease expenses and reduce cycle times.  The supplier was looking for a faster efficient method of developing their rack and pinion gear set.  In addition, they were looking to move all this work back in-house.  Prior to working with Pacific, the client was outsourcing a large portion of this job due to capacity constraints.

THE PROBLEMS:

Pacific’s experts determined there were four (4) addressable issues:

1. 3-set cycle process– The existing process caused long cycle times (5 minutes), inconsistent results, and high manufacturing expenses.
2. Long changeover time for different models – The manufacturer was changing dies multiple times a day, spending up to an hour on each die change. Significant production time was lost to tooling changes.
3. Material feed and handling system – The facility relied on an operator to load and unload the parts manually. This led to excessive material handling, and a bottleneck within the production process.
4. High scrap rates – The current process had a high scrap rate driving up the cost per part.

PACIFIC’S SOLUTIONS:

• High tonnage press – A high tonnage press was designed specifically for the customer’s products, providing consistent, more accurate gear formation. This solution decreased scrap rates, reduced cycle times to 90 sec per part, and reduced manufacturing expenses.
• Robotic material delivery system – A robot was used to load and unload parts. This solution greatly reduced cycle times (more accurate part positioning), scrap rates, and material handling costs.
• Custom die change system – A custom die change system was created. originally reduced the costs per part, increased output and made die changes quick and easy. This solution reduced die change over time from 1 hour to just 15 minutes.

Now that’s SOLUTIONS, DELIVERED!
