Die Casting Parts Manufactured using Lean Manufacturing.
Lean Manufacturing Die Casting. Die Casting Parts Manufactured using Lean Manufacturing.
Everyone believes the die casting is solely a “Batch & Que” manufacturing process. Most die casting companies operate using a the department layout (example.
- Die Casting Department – 500 Parts produced day one (1) shipped to the trim department on day two (2).
- Trimming Department – 500 Parts get trimmed on day two (2) and get shipped to machining department on day three (3).
- Machining Department – 500 Parts get machined in machining department on day three (3) and sent to quality department on day four (4).
- Quality Department – 500 Parts get inspected on day four (4) and sent to shipping department on day five (5).
- Shipping Department – 500 Parts are packaged on day five (5) and shipped to customer on day six (6).
- 500 Parts are shipped at least six days after initial production in the die casting machine.
500 parts produced on the first day of the week get shipped (6)six days later, typically next week. If there is a one (1) day Que in each department, it will add another four (4) days to the six (6) days making the delivery ten (10) days after production.
6 – 10 additional days is a long time to wait for die casting parts for some customers.
