CASE STUDY:Continuous Improvement Yields Cost Savings for Customer

Posted by Tyler Rose on Apr 10, 2017 2:07:03 PM

Looking for ways to simplify, PFI Precision Machining reduces unit cost.

In our everyday operations, engineers at PFI Precision Machining continuously look for ways to reduce manufacturing expenses and simplify assemblies. Already a supplier for this particular part for a customer, we initiated a cost savings idea.

By eliminating the weld in the original specification, our redesign resulted in a part that was easier to assemble and could be produced faster and at a lower cost. For the 2,200 units in the initial order, the cost savings was $4,400. We now collaborate with the client’s engineers on a regular basis on design-for-manufacturability solutions.
