What are some of the improvements possible when you involve a new set of experienced eyes? 

• Eliminate the “We have always done it that way syndrome.”
• Challenge the “Time to market” standard.
• Reduce design, build, and start up time.
• Cycle-time improvements. (wasted motion/machine programming)
• Scrap reduction, improved quality, reduce time to complete orders.
• Improve PPM at customer
• Improve machine performance
• Improve machine up-time
• Implement computer monitoring technology for process control and troubleshooting
• Improve employee retention rate
• Improve employee involvement at all levels
• Reduce overtime
• Reduce “work in process” (W.I.P.)
• Reduce the number of machines required to complete orders.
• Increase production capacity without adding machines or shifts.
• Set-up time reduction and improve accuracy of set-ups.
• Reduce energy usage.
• Identify problems with supporting utilities such as compressed air, electrical supply, cooling tower, centralized die lube etc. that have a negative effect on die cast production.
• Reduce melt loss, improve metal yield.

Would you like to enjoy some of the above improvements in your operation?

You’re already spending the money on inefficiencies. Why not invest it in training that provides solutions so you can put more money in the bottom line!

Some clients have enjoyed improvements during the first 8 hours of training! They have continued to reap the benefits of those improvements and have sustained them for weeks and months. In one 16-hour period, a client enjoyed a 33% and a 20% reduction in cycle time on 2 project machines respectively. At the same time, the casting quality increased nearly 50% producing a net improvement of 428 shots per day on the first machine.*

 I find that die, machine and process performance is a team effort involving, manufacturing, maintenance and engineering. If you want to improve your competitive edge, then investing in the type of specialized training available from Bob McClintic & Associates makes sense.
