20% Cost Reduction Through Advanced Manufacturing & Lean Processes
Cost optimisation for an engineering manufacturer across sheet metal production
CUSTOMER
Engineering Manufacturer
INDUSTRY
Multi-sector – Industrial & Engineering
APPLICATION
Sheet metal components requiring cost optimisation
EXPERIENCE
50+ years of specialist expertise
ACCREDITATION
BSi ISO 9001
The Challenge
The customer required a significant reduction in manufacturing cost without compromising quality or performance.
Labour-intensive processes
Multiple secondary operations
Traditional welding requiring linishing
Separate labelling processes
Inefficient production workflow
The Solution
Arben implemented a cost reduction strategy using modern technology and lean manufacturing principles.
Design & Process Review
3D CAD analysis, Design for Manufacture (DFM) applied, simplified production steps.
Advanced Manufacturing
Laser welding for faster speeds, minimal distortion and no linishing required. Laser etching for permanent marking, eliminating secondary processes.
Lean Manufacturing
Streamlined workflow, reduced handling, improved efficiency.
Finishing Integration
Finishing aligned with production flow to reduce delays and handling.
THE OUTCOME
Reduced complexity
Faster throughput
Improved quality
Reduced manual processes
KEY RESULTS
Approx 20% cost reduction
Reduced labour
Faster production
Improved efficiency
