Bottom Line Profits
With the state of our manufacturing today and the unfair competition that
China and the recently imposed steel tariffs are causing, it is of utmost
importance that all manufacturers optimize their profits. One costly area
that is often overlooked is the tooling and tooling maintenance. How much
downtime is the tool seeing because of problems with galling, pickup, and/or
fatigue?
Many times these downtime losses do not show up as a figure on
the bottom line, however, they do show themselves in overall profit reports.
By being proactive in this area, the draw forming / blanking industry can pay
attention to these profit robbing trends. Imagine being able to run a
tool for extended periods without any pickup or galling. Think of punches that
usually fatigue now no longer failing on the sharp edges.
Isn't it time to do something about this problem?
