Cost reduction case study that achieves a reduction in processing man-hours through material optimization in difficult-to-machine materials.
The key to improving the machinability of difficult materials depends on whether rigidity is required or not.
The amount of cutting affects costs in proportion to the processing man-hours. By changing difficult-to-cut material parts to optimal materials based on specifications, we can reduce costs. The key is to identify parts that can be replaced with materials like aluminum and resin, which have lower cutting resistance. When considering the issues with SS and SUS material parts, we will think about possible solutions based on their poor machinability. There are cases where strength and rigidity are required from the parts, and there are also many instances where they are not required. In such cases, changing the material while keeping the same shape can open up avenues for cost reduction. We will consider solutions to this problem using Value Analysis (VA) and Value Engineering (VE).
