Category: Abrasives Product: Grinding Wheel Industry: Foundry The customer was having issues finding a wheel that would efficiently work with white iron chrome. We did a current state evaluation, and they were completing three parts per wheel used. With five operators going, any increase in product life would be extremely beneficial. We recommended a switch to a higher quality wheel that would last longer and give them a quicker cut. The new wheels increased the productivity by 40%. Now they could finish five parts per wheel, and after factoring in unit price, change over time, and increased productivity, their cost per part fell from $2.18 to $1.15, a 48% reduction and a $12,200 annual cost savings. We help companies operate better $12,200 Cost Savings
