[Example of Proposal] In the manufacturing of mechanical parts, R/C surfaces are indicated on the drawings as appropriate.

Here is an example of a suggestion to instruct to appropriately include the R side and C side!

We would like to introduce our examples of VA/VE proposals. In the initial design requested by our company, there were multiple hole processing areas and corners, which required multiple gripping changes when considering the relationship between the drill (cutting tool) and the product. This led to an increase in processing man-hours and, consequently, an increase in costs. Therefore, we proposed to consider the processing steps for this product and suggested that R surfaces and C surfaces be added as appropriate. By making these adjustments, cost reductions can be achieved. [Case Overview] ■ Issue: The relationship between the drill (cutting tool) and the product required multiple gripping changes, resulting in increased processing man-hours and higher costs. ■ Proposal: To consider the processing steps and instruct to add R surfaces and C surfaces as appropriate. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
