The 'Funax Cost Reduction Newsletter through VA/VE' is irregularly distributed every 1 to 2 weeks, providing methods and case studies for cost reduction in machine parts and units. The features of this cost reduction newsletter include the optimization of eight elements: 1. Materials | 2. Processing methods | 3. Processing processes | 4. Shapes | 5. Weight reduction | 6. Parts reduction | 7. Countermeasures for similar products | 8. Drawings, which allows for smooth cost reduction through various methods and case studies. We hope it will be helpful for your business. Cost reduction measures are best approached by identifying and resolving issues in parts and units one at a time, rather than trying to tackle everything at once. While it is not easy to implement according to the eight cost reduction elements we advocate, it can be achieved steadily.

Hosted by the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, this technical seminar will be held on the theme of the subject. Purpose of the Event Securing profits through cost reduction activities is a paramount issue in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, implementing cost reductions in the upstream of manufacturing, specifically in design, can yield effects that are dozens of times greater than cost reduction activities at the shop floor level. By optimizing shapes and reducing the number of parts in design, costs will undoubtedly decrease. In this seminar, we will explain how to advance low-cost design with a focus on "optimal shapes and parts reduction," based on VA (Value Analysis) and VE (Value Engineering), using a wealth of drawing samples. Along this line, we will address design troubles by intertwining six perspectives: 1. Processing methods 2. Processing processes 3. Weight reduction 4. Materials 5. Drawings 6. Similar products, and improve QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) through optimized design for "optimal shapes and parts reduction," leveraging the advantages of 3D CAD in shape recognition. Participants will engage in practical training on low-cost design using VA/VE through concrete examples and group exercises, focusing on advancing designs without excess or waste.
