[VA/VE Case] Reduction of construction time and costs through process reduction

Significant cost reduction and shortened construction time achieved by consolidating rough and finishing processes and eliminating the heat treatment process!

We would like to introduce a case where we achieved reductions in construction time and costs through engineering streamlining. The manufacturing process for the customer's design involves three steps using chromium-molybdenum steel (raw material): cutting process (rough) → heat treatment (quenching) → cutting process (finishing). Our proposed manufacturing process changes the material to heat-treated stainless steel (quenched material) and consists of only one step, performing both rough and finishing cutting processes. Despite a slight increase in material costs, we achieved significant cost reductions and shortened the construction period by consolidating the rough and finishing processes and eliminating the heat treatment step. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenge: Three steps of chromium-molybdenum steel (raw material) → cutting process (rough) → heat treatment (quenching) → cutting process (finishing) ■Results - Changed from chromium-molybdenum steel (raw material) + heat treatment to heat-treated stainless steel, modifying the separate rough and finishing cutting processes into a single process for rough and finishing. - Reduced the construction period from 7 days (rough processing + transportation + heat treatment + transportation + finishing cutting) to 1 day (rough and finishing cutting). *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.
