Here are five points and measures to reconsider if you feel the profits are low!
"While sales remain unchanged, profits are thinning year by year." Such voices are increasing among managers and manufacturing leaders in the foundry industry.
The soaring costs of raw materials, rising energy costs, chronic labor shortages, and a transaction structure that makes it difficult to pass on price increases are all contributing factors.
These issues are overlapping, and the profit margins of foundry companies continue to be structurally pressured.
Even though they understand that "costs must be reduced," the reality is that it is often unclear where to start or where there is room for improvement.
This article will systematically explain specific improvement measures, covering the essence of the cost structure in the foundry industry, including material yield, defect rates, manufacturing methods, and energy conservation.
In particular, it will focus on the often-overlooked "energy costs of melting and holding processes" and clarify where the greatest potential for improvement lies.
Cost reduction is not merely about saving money; it is a strategic investment to protect profit margins. Please read to the end while comparing it with your company's current situation.
