[VA/VE Case] Improvement of Prototype Cost and Lead Time through the Use of Stacked Jigs
We contribute to our customers by standardizing welding quality, reducing defect rates, and stabilizing costs!
We would like to introduce a case where the use of laminated jigs improved prototype costs and lead times. Previously, we outsourced welding jigs used during welding to other companies, which was a factor in high costs. While jigs are essential for accurate and reliable welding, the outsourcing costs remained a continuous issue. By changing the process to manufacture laminated welding jigs in-house, we achieved stabilization of quality and reduction of lead times without incurring additional costs. We succeeded in improving efficiency and reducing costs through in-house production, thereby enhancing productivity. Our company is working on speeding up processing and reducing costs with laminated welding jigs, eliminating the high costs and long lead times associated with outsourcing traditional jig manufacturing, and enabling immediate response through in-house production. [Challenges] ■ Outsourcing welding jigs used during welding to other companies resulted in high costs. ■ While jigs are essential for accurate and reliable welding, outsourcing costs remained a continuous issue. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
