ProtoTools & Low-Volume Injection Molding
PROJECT – A 10 week time line to deliver 23 tools and 200 sets of parts to client for testing before full production tooling can be committed too.
ISSUE – After review only some minor changes are recommended to client. The primary issue was tooling department being near capacity which required flawless execution to hit deadline.
SOLUTION – 24 hour manufacturing to ensure we could satisfy this client and other tooling jobs in the pipeline.
RESULT – Week 8, tools complete, week 9 all parts delivered, 1 week early.
