Partner

The Hungarian subsidiary of a multinational machine manufacturer with 3 sites, 2-shift production, 900+ employees.
The goal was to increase competitiveness and move the production of new products to Hungary.

Project

Manufacturing of a new product – COMPONENT MANAGEMENT REVIEW
Review of the processes of the company related to parts manufacturing and procurement, its decision-making mechanism, quality standard, and cost-efficiency.
Result of the review: the principles and material qualities used during the design phase do not fulfil the internal requirements or the perquisites of state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies

Improvements implemented

In-house manufacturing of specific parts – 3.5% savings
Specification of the appropriate manufacturing technology – 2% savings
The optimisation of the technical and technological parameters of the process for the procurement of parts from suppliers: 2.5% savings

Results

Efficient manufacturing process, cost-efficient supply chain, 8% savings, that is EUR 280,000 per year

Partner

German corporation engaged in the manufacturing of metal parts with references in the automotive and agricultural industries 2 sites, 2100+ employees, 3-shift continuous work schedule.
The goal was to reduce manufacturing costs and increase profits.

Project

Agricultural project – COMPONENT DESIGN CONSULTING
Inspection of the circumstances of the parts manufacturing and technological processes
Review of the part designs by reconciling quality-related, operational, and economic aspects

Improvements implemented

Optimisation of requirements different from the actual quality needs: 1.1% savings
Selection of the optimal raw materials for the parts: 0.3% savings
Selection of the manufacturing process most suitable for the manufacturing quantities: 2.2% savings
Reduction of the procurement prices due to the technologically correct wording of the specifications  1.2% savings

Results

More effective quality control during manufacturing, the drastic reduction in the number of faulty end-products, 4.8% savings, that is EUR 365,000 per year
