Case Studies
OEM Engine Block Machining
Customer saved more than $1 million a month with the elimination of air freight. The customer savings were further compounded by increased throughput, massive quality gain, reduction of scrap and rework and improved engagement of the plant floor personnel.Challenge
The customer was consistently unable to meet production targets. To make up for missed targets the customer was spending an additional $1 million a month on air freight with no visibility of production data until well after losses had occurred with little to no engagement of operators on the floor.
Solution
Result
Real-time monitors for variability and percent rejects increased visibility and engagement of plant floor personnel tapping previously unseen data. Real-time notifications before loss incurred removed the need for air freight within the first 30 days. Customer saw a return on investment in first 60 days.
"Operating without REVEAL is like driving with your eyes closed"
OEM Engine plant
Crank went from 73% FTT to 95% FTT, from worst in division to first!Challenge
Massive losses in scrap and rework with incredibly low first-time yield at 73%. No root cause visibility for line rejects requiring hours upon hours of investigation by engineering team after and during loss. No correlation of parts from rough process to finish process resulting in further wasted effort. Little to no engagement from plant floor operators.
Solution
Result
"Existing systems are not available to the plant floor and never will be. REVEAL is live; It's now!"
Tier-One Supplier
Client was on the verge of losing its largest contract. Client was dealing with excessive scrap losing 36% of its production without the means to determine the root cause of the problem. REVEAL’s patented auto-regression feature immediately identified (2) critical characteristics at the casting operation as the root cause of balance operation failures. Client then took corrective actions and implemented REVEALs’ real-time alerts preventing further losses from occurring saving clients most lucrative contract.Challenge
Client’s Customer was seeking another supplier because client was unable to meet production demand.
