Process optimisation in aluminium company
Reduction of process repetition by 23%
Reduction of process repetition due to lack of quality by 23% resulting significant savings.
Starting situation
The Manufacturer was experiencing high costs for quality defects that were only identified at the end of the production process of aluminium blocks. The production was a flow process that could not be interrupted once started. The finished product was inspected for defects at the end of the process and any items that did not meet high quality standards had to be discarded and returned to the start of the manufacturing process.
Project
Prospero created an early warning model with DetectX® Business Monitoring on the basis of available input data, which are measured before the production process is started.
Results
Reduction of process repetition due to lack of quality by 23% resulting significant savings. Production time was saved and wastage reduced which combined with reduced energy costs resulted in significant cost savings.
