Our
most important asset is our people – people who
are well trained, highly motivated and know how to put
our state-of-the-art equipment to its very best use,
to the ultimate benefit of our customers in terms of
cost savings and speed to market. We have created an
environment in which the manufacturing process has been
streamlined for maximum efficiency, and our people are
well schooled in the principles of lean manufacturing.
Secondary machining is linked to our die-casting operations,
using cellular technology and demand-pull triggering
of requirements. We use single-piece flow where applicable,
and we modify the manufacturing process, to the extent
possible to meet any customer’s individual requirements.
We have developed strategic relationships with tool
manufacturers who can take our customer’s final
model and convert it quickly and efficiently into a
tool to produce parts.
We use rapid prototyping tools to obtain dies in less
than half the lead time it takes to deliver the same
die from other manufacturers. Program managers monitor
the progress and critical path to ensure timely delivery
of the tooling.
Our equipment and manufacturing processes include:
- CAD and Solid Modeling Capabilities
- Rapid tooling and prototyping for fast implementation
of ideas into products using the latest technology
and analytical tools.
- Surface treatment methods and technologies for reduced
soldering and die maintenance
- Parts and process approval using PPAP procedures
- Six Sigma problem solving techniques
- Value added machining and finishing department with
advanced machining capabilities to produce parts ready
for the customer’s application
- Single Minute Exchange of Dies program
- State-of-the-art process and shot monitoring equipment
form continuous process control
- Automated processes ensuring consistent high quality
