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

Proposing product manufacturing with the desired delivery time, precision, and unit price based on extensive knowledge of the products.

We would like to introduce a case where we proposed to manufacture adjustment screws from scratch for a machine tool and industrial machinery manufacturer, as per their request. During mass production, a request for the arrangement of adjustment screws was made to the purchasing department, and upon checking on an e-commerce site, it was found that the costs were high and did not fit the budget for purchasing the production lot (700 pieces). After our proposal, we were able to provide the screws at approximately 45% lower cost than the e-commerce site, taking into account the lead time (actual working days: 30). [Overview of the Issue] - During the prototype phase of a new machine tool, the design department intended to use "adjustment screws" available on an e-commerce site for the legs of the machine. - When a request for the arrangement of adjustment screws was made to the purchasing department during mass production, it was discovered that the unit price was high and did not fit the budget for purchasing the production lot. - Since they did not want to make significant specification changes, they were considering how to obtain the screws at a lower cost. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
