The Situation
Changes in processing and materials pricing for a stamped foam gasket resulted in a projected 23% price increase to our customer
The Ask
End-to-end review of production methods and supply chain to mitigate cost increase
The Solution
Darcoid invested in new high-volume precision cutting equipment to replace traditional clicker press operation. Higher quality parts were attainable and PPAP approved.
The Success
Unit throughput was significantly increased, and scrap decreased to offset material cost increases. Our customer was saved from the impact of 23% PPV while receiving higher conformity parts.
