[Case Study-04] Agricultural Machinery Parts Manufacturing

Preparation work made possible for anyone! A case study aimed at addressing labor shortages and enhancing production capacity.

We would like to introduce a case study of problem-solving using our "APS Chuck and APS Quick Jaws." In a certain company that produces agricultural machinery parts with repeated production and daily deliveries, there was an issue of decreased operating rates due to an increase in setup times resulting from reduced lot sizes. In response, we proposed an APS 8-inch chuck (1 unit) and APS standard jaws (10 sets). Additionally, for newly arising issues such as chip accumulation in the center of the chuck, we have introduced an APS 10-inch chuck (1 unit), APS quick jaws (2 sets), and a chip cover (PAT). [Overview] ■ Issues - Decreased operating rates due to increased setup times from reduced lot sizes - Decreased sales due to reduced productivity and operating rates - Decreased productivity due to setups occurring more than 2-3 times a week *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
