挑战
A senior quality engineer for a leading machining company faced alarming scrap levels, with only hindsight data available to prevent it. Precision was crucial for the intricate manufactured components. The company had five work zones with a first-pass yield of only 40 percent, generating staggering annual scrap costs. Pertinent inspection data was manually collected and recorded, making it costly and difficult to manage. Weeks often passed before usable data became available, allowing defective products to pass through manufacturing processes with hidden issues. Identifying underlying issues required extensive efforts from Six Sigma Black Belts, often long after the fact.
关于客户
Hertzler Systems has been providing seamless, accurate data acquisition solutions for over 30 years. They serve a large and diverse customer base in service, transactional, and manufacturing environments, including companies like Consolidated Biscuit Company, Darden Restaurants, Pactiv Inc., McCormick & Company, and Hormel Foods.

These capabilities help clients reduce costs, cycle time, errors, and defects, while increasing profitability and customer satisfaction.
解决方案
The quality engineer envisioned an automated data collection system that would seamlessly integrate with the company’s ERP system, gages, and coordinate measuring machines (CMM). Hertzler Systems provided the GainSeeker automated real-time data collection system, which collects data directly from all plant devices, including the scheduling system. This system was designed to be easy for machine operators to use, enabling them to take initial actions toward problem prevention. GainSeeker empowered operators to drill down into the data in real-time to see how a process was performing, significantly improving the company's operational efficiency.
运营影响
  • First-pass yield increased from 40 percent to nearly 99 percent within six months.
  • Scrap costs significantly reduced for the previously problematic work zones.
  • Operators were empowered to drill down into real-time data to monitor process performance.
数量效益
  • First-pass yield increased from 40% to nearly 99% within six months.
