(20)20 Reasons why everybody in your company will be talking about you this year

What are your work-related resolutions for the new year? If your objective is to obtain infinite productivity, reduce emissions and part weight, reduce production time and spend less than your budget, here are 20 (good) reasons why the One-Shot® Method is the best choice you can make. And it can make you stand out at the next company meeting…

Here we are!

2020 is here, the time to finalise the books is over and it is now time to set new objectives.

It is at this time of the year that the “resolution massacre” takes place.
I have recently read about an interesting survey: 93% of the people forces themselves to come up with resolutions for the new year, they write them down in a nice list and swear they’ll stick to it.

And then? Half of the people have already abandoned the list by mid-February and only one in five sticks to it for the whole year.

I’ll stop you immediately: if in the next lines you expect to find the secret to keep solemn promises like “I’ll go for a run before work” or “I’ll be kind and friendly with everybody”, here you will not find the miraculous solutions you are looking for.

There is only one Method that guarantees that you will reach the budget, cycle time, lightweighting and recyclability objectives that were given to you.

I wish I had them!

But I have something just as precious.

Actually, something even more useful for you if your 2020 objectives are something like:

• Endless productivity
• Production cycle up to 900% faster
• More lightweight and recyclable parts in line with Horizon 2020
• Reduced CO2 emissions
• SPENDING LESS THAN YOUR BUDGET

Try and imagine what obtaining infinite productivity and reduced time while increasing budget efficiency would mean.

Well, the great news for 2020 is that you can obtain all this right now with the One-Shot® Method, the world’s fastest method to produce car parts.

I’ll tell you more but let’s proceed in order.

It’s not only the beginning of a new year but of a new decade, as well.
Those who work in the automotive sector have a duty of identifying solutions that bring immediate advantages and have a medium to long-term scope, if they don’t want to run the risk of lagging behind.

I asked myself whether we are going in the right direction.

There is but one way to give yourself an objective answer: not relying on feelings but on facts.
Data, numbers, proof. And it was by following this principle that I compared the car part traditional production method with the One-Shot® Method.

I have put together a list of advantages that you can obtain by switching from the traditional method to the One-Shot® Method.

And the result was a list of 20 reasons why the One-Shot® Method is different from any other solution you might have tried in the past.
Not only is it the best solution to the problems that have long (too long) been slowing you down every day on your work, but it is also the thing that can make you stand out at the next company meeting.

Are you curious to find out why?

Here are 20 good reasons to choose it:

1. ONE-SHOT COMPANY
   Just one mould and one production step. Whereas the traditional method requires 3 or more steps, with the One-Shot® Method you’ll turn raw material into a finished part in just one shot. At that point, all you’ll have to do is choose how to invest that left-over time and money.

2. NO ASSEMBLY
   Having just one mould means that you’ll no longer need to assemble your parts: you’ll no longer run the risk of deformations and of coupling issues.

3. AUTOMATED PROCESS
   You will also be able to reduce all the steps that are required in the traditional method to just one robotised process. You get where I’m going with this, right? You will be able to eliminate scraps and waste.

4. NO NEED FOR OPERATORS
   You will save money on the manpower (also specialised manpower) needed with the traditional methods.

5. GUARANTEED TECHNICAL AND QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
   Deformations and human errors are the consequences of outdated technologies, and you’ll no longer be hampered by them on your way to reaching your production and commercial objectives.

6. ENHANCED SECURITY
   Automation means no more worries that something may go wrong or be overlooked: from end to finish, you’ll have full control of the process and of the results.

7. LOWER TOOLING COSTS AND LESS NEED FOR MACHINES
   Adopting the One-Shot® Method means reducing costs as well as the number of specific machines required in the traditional production method.

8. PART CREATED IN JUST ONE PRODUCTION AREA
   You’ll have a leaner production process. What does this mean for you? Shorter time, productivity increase and easier control over each phase.

9. PRODUCTION AREAS CAN BE REPRODUCED ANYWHERE IN THE WORKD WITH THE SAME STANDARDS
   Forget about the annoying differences in production among the plants: your production will be uniform and with stable quality performances.

10. LESS ENERGY REQUIRED FOR PRODUCTION
    This will save you a good amount of money, don’t you think?

Being under budget and reducing emissions. Do you think this is incredible? Well, it is!

11. A DEDICATED INNOVATION ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
    We bear the research costs. What does this mean for you? Continuous process, technology and materials improvement. You will always be one step ahead of the competition in a sector that has been tied down by outdated, futureless technologies for decades.

12. LIGHTER PARTS
    Reduced weight and parts steadily in line with Horizon 2020.

13. REDUCED EMISSIONS
    SAPA is taking part in the LIFE BIOBCOMPO project, together with SOPHIA, CRF, FCA and with the support of the European Union with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions by 8% by 2021.
    You have understood correctly: you can forget about the nightmare of a new Diesel Gate.

14. CYCLE TIME UP TO 900% FASTER
    No more delays and endless production steps: producing your parts will be tremendously faster.

15. A UNIQUE, COMPLETE AND INTEGRATED METHOD
    No several, different and outdated methods to be then assembled, but one single, patented method that received the Innovation Award 2017 in Detroit, i.e. the award given to the greatest innovation of the year in the most important event dedicated to plastic for the automotive sector in the world.

16. CODESIGNING
    Every part has its own story. We believe that our objective should be to maximise its strengths and minimise its more challenging aspects. This is the beauty of the One-Shot® Method: it is, indeed, a method, hence versatile, transferable and customisable. For this reason, we plan the solution to best solve your specific issue together with you.

17. PARTS ARE MORE RECYCLE
    The objective of the LIFE BIOBCOMPO project is not only to reduce vehicles emissions but to produce such lightweight composites at costs that are compatible with the customer requirements and to make sure that the new materials will be completely recyclable at the end of their life cycle.

18. INFINITE PRODUCTIVITY
    Say goodbye to expensive downtime!

19. LOWER COSTS
    Yes, you are now ready to spend less than your budget while increasing productivity.

20. ONE-SHOT® GUARANTEE
    If the One-Shot® solution does not keep its promises, the backup part with the traditional method will be paid by us. When you request a quote, you will receive two offers from us: one with the One-Shot® Method, the other with the traditional method but the tooling costs of the traditional method will be borne by us.

What does this mean for you? Zero risks, with a guaranteed alternative solution.

How long have you been facing the same old issues for?

Same processes, same costs, same issues. Always the same. As if there were no alternative to traditional production.

But there is an alternative.

One-Shot® is the method that meets the most urgent needs of the automotive market, it has already been adopted with success by the engineers of Volkswagen, Jeep, FCA and other important car makers.

In short, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, there is a way to keep your resolutions for 2020 (at least the work-related ones).
