Nineteen per cent taken out before anything was cut
An equipment OEM
The drawing was demanding things the function did not need.
The challenge
A new assembly quoted well above the customer’s target cost. The design specified tight tolerances and a surface finish across features where neither was functional.
What we did
A design-for-manufacture review with their engineers, relaxing tolerances where the function allowed and consolidating three parts into one.
The outcome
Cost reduced by nearly a fifth with no change in performance.
Results
What changed
- −19%
