This starts with a challenge for engineers and tech: “On and annualized basis, find a half million seconds for every mold in the shop.” Partly this is done to keep the engineers and techs interested. More importantly it allows money to be generated as both extra profit for the company and money available to give out raises for a successful completion of this challenge. The presentation starts looking at a typical part. Then reviews what would happen if segments of the process were improved: Reduced scrap, reduced cycle time, regrind usage enhancement, weight reduction and reduced setup times. While the cumulative effect of all of these improvements isn’t completely additive it shows how this goal can be achieved.
