One-Shot® C Lower Pillar
Here is the method that allows you to produce up to 1000 C lower pillars per day, with 80 seconds of cycle time (against 40 C lower pillars per day, with 12 minutes of cycle time in the traditional process!)
We guarantee:
- 80 second cycle time (allowing you to order more parts and receive them in less time without compromising quality)
- A production of 1000 components per day
- A significant reduction in costs, thanks to the automation of the process
Why is this methodology so revolutionary?
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
the production time of a single unit of C Lower Pillar is 40 minutes with the use of skilled workers, because the foaming process is required inside the mold. One day = 40 C Lower Pillar made per operator
PROBLEM
long lead times.
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
the seat pad is handmade. This means more possibility of human error, therefore more waste pieces produced and more training costs for personnel.
PROBLEM
the seat pad is handmade. This means more possibility of human error, therefore more waste pieces produced and more training costs for personnel.
WITH THE TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGY
the price of a single piece assembled with this methodology is 40% higher than that produced with the One-Shot® methodology because manual construction requires more workers, therefore more supervision for control quality and more training.
PROBLEM
need to have more quality control personnel, therefore more costs on final orders.
Thus was born the revolutionary One-Shot® process!
One day, however, a group of engineers within sapa began to gather to find a solution to these problems, in a top-secret department called "Innovation Engineering"
3 moulds, dependence on external suppliers, 2 processes (moulding + injection). become:
- 1 job only
- 1 component only
- 1 single press stroke In a single production cell
And the "pleasant consequences" are many:
- 80 seconds of cycle time saving time so you can focus on other components
- 110% increase in productivity
- 1000 components produced per day guaranteeing the supply of high volumes of products
Summing up
Traditional method
- Average production time for one component: 12 minutes
- Need for specialized workers = +costs
- Non-automated process
- Use of specialized equipment = +costs
- 5pcs x 20h = 100pcs/day
40 C-Lower Pillar/day - 12 minute time/cycle
One-Shot® method
- Average production time for a component: 80 seconds
- No need for skilled workers = -costs
- Fully automated process
- Use of generalist equipment = -costs
- 1000 C-Lower Pillar/day
- 80 second time/cycle
- Average cost per component: €0.44
But it doesn't end there
Our one-shot® c-lower pillar has already been patented and you will soon find it on Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
