[Case Study] Cost Reduction through Changes in Manufacturing Method of Mass-Produced Screws

A case where the manufacturing method was changed from cutting processing to forging processing, resulting in a 70% cost reduction in the customer's purchase unit price.

We would like to introduce a case where we proposed "reducing the manufacturing process and increasing production lots" to an industrial machinery manufacturer. The customer was purchasing low-head type special-shaped hexagon socket bolts M2 from an e-commerce site, but they had a request to reduce costs due to the high unit price and increasing usage. We proposed a change in the manufacturing method, which was adopted without any issues and met or exceeded the performance of the conventional products, resulting in significant cost reduction. [Case Overview] ■ Issues - Costs had become too high - The shape was not particularly difficult to manufacture, despite being outside JIS standards ■ Requirements for Solving the Issues - Reduction of costly machining processes - Establishing production lots that ensure stable lead times *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
