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

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
