Cost reduction through reduced processing hours by selecting high-cost materials or material cost reduction.

Reduce costs by using high-cost materials only where necessary! A cost reduction method through the assessment of material costs and processing man-hours using VA (Value Analysis) and VE (Value Engineering).

High-cost materials are reduced to only the necessary parts for cost savings! The cost is determined by assessing material costs and processing man-hours. At first glance, considering the shape of the material may seem to reduce processing man-hours and lead to total cost reduction, but high material costs can result in an overall increase in costs. Material costs are fixed expenses, but there is a significant possibility to adjust costs through processing methods like Value Analysis (VA) and Value Engineering (VE). In this case, we are conducting VA and VE to address the increase in man-hours resulting from the reduction of material costs. ■ Original Parts Information: Material Cost: SUS Material 1500×1500×50t Processing Details: Mounting holes for motors, indexers, etc., and screw hole processing. ■ VA, VE Details: SUS Material: Incorporation of channel and angle materials for a welded structure. Processing Details: Construction of the lower structure through welding; processing details remain the same. ■ The significant reduction in material costs is a major benefit, but total costs can vary based on processing details, so careful assessment is crucial. The explanation in PowerPoint format can be viewed in a 4-page PDF.
