Case Study of Solutions and Cost Reduction (VA Proposal) Case 4

We would like to introduce a case where we successfully achieved cost reduction through a VA proposal for our client.

Case 4: Trivalent Chromium Plating (Barrel Plating) ■ Electric Manufacturer F Company For a product from our client company, we were performing nickel + decorative chromium plating (hexavalent chromium) on small aluminum A 5052 machined parts using jigs. The required quality included specified film thickness, no scratches, and corrosion resistance with no white rust occurring after 48 hours in the JIS neutral salt spray test. However, since the products were small in size, we proposed barrel nickel plating + barrel trivalent chromium plating. As a result of prototype evaluation, we cleared all the required quality standards, leading to a specification change and achieving cost reduction.
