Success Story: Reducing Scrap and Boosting Efficiency
One of our clients faced a significant challenge with high scrap rates for a particular molded part. The internal scrap was averaging between 15% and 20%, resulting in an annualized cost of approximately $127,000 in scrap alone. Seeking a solution, they reached out to JAYCE Consulting for assistance.
Utilizing our proven process for Continuous Improvement, our team dove into the problem with a commitment to finding a sustainable and efficient solution. Through a combination of meticulous analysis and innovative strategies, we successfully reduced the scrap rate to less than 3% annually. This not only saved our client substantial costs in scrap dollars but also minimized customer returns, enhancing overall customer satisfaction. Our approach not only resolved the immediate issue but also equipped the client with tools and processes to maintain this improved performance in the long term.
