Not sure if your injection molding or blow molding operation runs as efficiently as possible? If your machines are tuned optimally? If your people have the knowledge they need in the day-to-day operation? If your scrap percentage is within industry averages?
These are some of the questions a plant and office audit can give succinct answers to. In today’s competitive environment machines have to pack out the most-possible products, every day and every week. That is not always achieved by running the fastest cycle time. Instead, a careful examination of all the parameters is necessary to determine the best possible outcome. Here is a list of what you can expect during the audit:
We will prepare a report detailing all observations with concrete recommendations on each machine and each observed setup person/operator/engineer as well as an overall assessment of the plant. Main focus of the report is to outline strategies to reduce part cost, improve quality, and save money through scrap reduction and energy cutbacks. It will also contain a section on the challenges to future growth.
Costs:
5 to 10 machines: $3,500
10 to 20 machines: $5,000
20 to 30 machines: $6,500
Plus all applicable expenses such as air fare, hotel, food, rental car, transport to airport, airport parking etc.
