| work
closely with our customers to ensure the ‘best tool’ is
applied to the manufacturing process. We are trained to
look at the entire process and machine tool for causes of variation
in tooling performance. This approach is driven by keeping
a constant eye on the ‘Cost Drivers’ revealed in
our Usage Reports and ensures that we are attacking the problem ‘At
the Spindle’ and
reducing costs. We then look to see if these new solutions
can be applied to other areas and operations in the spirit of ‘Best
Practices’ to ensure Continuous Improvement. |
