Case studies
Programs, with the numbers that mattered
Three example programs with the structure a real case study needs: problem, intervention, and measured results. Result figures are demo data, clearly marked.
Harvester frame program: from 14 weeks to 5
A harvester OEM consolidated four frame suppliers into one program with sequenced delivery.
- 14 wk → 5 wk Buffer stock
- 98.6% First-pass weld quality
Implant family migrated in one quarter
A device maker moved 23 machined implant components to a new supplier without a single lot rejection.
- 0 of 214 Lots rejected
- 1.67 Cpk on interface features
Wafer-tool frames built to print, 40 tools a year
A tool builder outsourced complete frame sets, machined and pre-assembled, to free its own floor.
- 28 → 41 / yr Tool output
- 3 wk → 4 d Frame staging time
