Case studies of wiring duct processing services
Company A manufactures and supplies semiconductor manufacturing equipment based on a close relationship of trust built with major semiconductor makers around the world with its advanced technology.
Recently, in order to respond to the intensification of competition accompanying the maturation of the whole industry, the company has worked on reducing costs such as reduction of man-hours and considered asking Kowa Kasei to cut its wiring duct used for machine wiring.
After introduction of the service, it became unnecessary to cut 20 kinds of wiring ducts per machine, and furthermore, by introducing the service of marking the part numbers of the wiring duct and delivering it as a set package, it became possible to reduce the number of processing and management man-hours.
Wiring duct processing service introduction flow
- Many kinds of wiring ducts are used, and it takes time to cut them.
- It is troublesome to manage the large number of processed wiring duct types! Many losses due to the positional relation between the wiring duct side hole and the bottom hole.
- Many losses due to processing errors.
- It is difficult to cut the wiring duct at a right angle.
- Disposal of wiring duct material leftover (disposal of industrial waste) is expensive.
- Reduction of wiring duct processing man-hours
- Reduction of materials management man-hours
- Standardization of part quality by processing at the duct manufacturer
- Processing of the wiring duct was eliminated, which led to a reduction of processing man-hours.
- Since materials management was replaced by parts management, extra inventory was eliminated, which led to a reduction of management man-hours.
- By not processing themselves, the duct losses were eliminated, which led to a reduction of waste.
- Standardization of processed product quality was achieved and product appearance improved.
