[VA/VE Case] Significant Cost Reduction through Powder Coating Reduction
By abolishing the painting process, significant cost improvements in material costs, labor costs, equipment costs, and waste liquid treatment costs are possible.
We received a request to reduce the cost of rack attachments, and we would like to introduce a case where we proposed a paint-free solution to a customer, as manual powder coating on SPCC and SECC accounted for a large portion of their costs. The challenge was that the long and narrow parts were difficult to automate, leading to rising labor costs due to manual work. To address this, we changed the materials from SPCC and SECC to paint-free materials such as 430KD and 304KD, thereby reducing both the painting process and labor costs. This resulted in significant cost reductions and shortened lead times. [Challenges] - There was a request to reduce the cost of rack attachments, with manual powder coating (melamine) on SPCC and SECC accounting for a large portion of the costs. - The long and narrow parts were difficult to automate, leading to rising labor costs due to manual work. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
basic information
【Proposal/Results】 ■ We propose to eliminate the painting process that puts pressure on costs by adopting a paint-free approach. ■ By changing from SPCC or SECC to materials that do not require painting, such as 430KD or 304KD, we can reduce the painting process and labor costs. ■ Achieved significant cost reduction and shortened lead times. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
