Reducing Internal Scrap and Cycle Time Through a Design Improvement Suggested by CTS

Reducing Internal Scrap and Cycle Time Through a Design Improvement Suggested by CTS
During a discussion with members of the CTS team regarding a PPM issue in one of our internal processes, they suggested a design modification to a turned component that we had not previously considered.
This improvement generated multiple benefits:

• Reduction of internal scrap, resolving the original quality problem
• Shorter cycle time on the critical phase of our internal process
• Lower purchasing cost of the turned component, thanks to the simplified geometry

What began as a quality discussion resulted in a triple improvement — quality, productivity, and cost — thanks to CTS’s technical insight and proactive collaboration.
