Shape a works for medical treatment industry

Company of 3D Medical Manufacturing has 4 million dollar at present pack inventory beforehand, the challenge that the contract processing factory that is the medical treatment trade that withholds to signed the client of long-term contract faces is: How to help the market that they serve improve efficiency? "The factory is by client fictile. " this one view confirmed in the company of 3D Medical Manufacturing of Florida city Riviera Beach. Showing like its name place, this successful factory serves technically at medical treatment industry. Specific for, it produces package of the embedded type component that applies to all sorts of medical treatment clients, Electromechanical, and the device that the operation uses and bore instrument (graph 1) . The client's demand and the challenge that serve a solid to have for medical treatment market, affect the facility that this company is bought for years not only, and the workshop work way that affected it to be used to have competition ability place more and business mode. Graph 1 this factory uses equipment of etc of these Switzerland lathe to produce medical treatment part, if titanium is embedded content, and Electromechanical assembly parts, the drilling machine that reachs an operation to use and instrument are in recent visit, company of 3D Medical Manufacturing carries out vice-president Mr Joe Davis to emphasize the two big grim challenges that pointed out current medical treatment produces a workshop to be faced with. It is craft test and verify above all, in recent years, american food and medicaments management board (FDA) in processing factory of equipment of examination medical treatment and test and verify its machine craft respect to become more active and active, it is this to must spend more time and money. Examination project arrives how to make sure the software of numerical control machine tool is carried out normally in detail even. In fact, even if move a machine tool a few feet should undertake new test and verify to another position in workshop. Manufacturer of medical treatment OEM people felt same pressure. Why do this say a kind of new part namely once treatment and workmanship flow are affirmatory, should change it and new test and verify can be very heavy burden. This kind of thing limitted the innovation of the enterprise. After the moving experience that wins a job, the factory may discover the method of more significant production part. Mr Davis says, the factory can be done some small alter and need not inform a client of craft of new test and verify, the change that for instance speed or feed lead, perhaps use the cutting tool of different class. However, what may affect workpiece integrality is big alter must want new test and verify. As a result of again test and verify is mixed to the factory is euqally trival for manufacturer of medical treatment OEM, OEM manufacturer is taken no account of commonly alter technological process, unless this kind alters,can make cost, time get marked improvement. The 2nd challenge that the factory faces is the competition of the price. " protective patient and charge of reasonable medical treatment " the new tax that medical treatment equipment included to collect in act. Accordingly, manufacturer of medical treatment OEM is searching the supplier that can offer the cost advantage that has competition ability to make spare parts and assembly parts for them. If say a few years before OEM manufacturer insists to want spare parts supplier to press competitive price and the quality consign that press a demand on time mostly, so ask today lower price. Medical treatment equipment and component are becoming more and more complex, so, the factory needs advanced treatment facilities, the geometrical precision that offers requirement of place of manufacturer of OEM of medical treatment equipment and outstanding spare parts exterior. However, the service is stimulating such as 3D Medical Manufacturing at the challenge of medical treatment industry such plant goes searching other way to enhance competition ability. Company of 3D Medical Manufacturing is mixed by Joe Davis his brotherly Jim Jr.

Leader. Of this two brother familial be engaged in metallic treatment making, the company's earliest Switzerland lathe is Davises, the factory still is continueing to dig the advantage that place of platform of this kind of compound treatment offers. The factory has the Switzerland of 48 Marubeni Citizen-Cincom machine tool at present, still many 5 axes machine machine tool, line cut machine tool and grinder of automation numerical control to wait (graph 2) . It still used substantial blame opportunity to machine craft, if citric acid is mixed,heat treatment of nitric acid passivation, vacuum, laser solders, laser plays in season of mark, medium arenaceous machine with gush bolus etc. In addition, still the electron tests the 7 level that equipment uses at the electron to assemble with clean room. Company of graph 2 3D Medical Manufacturing besides machine tool of 5 axes machine tool, cut of electric spark line and robot lade outside numerical control grinder, still have 48 Switzerland lathe this factory discovery has enormous value with means of this kind of perpendicular conformity (graph 3) . Have complete control right to these technological process, this ensures won't have sold the home to was not changed to factory report already the technology that test and verify passes. Below a lot of circumstances, the factory can have a service with inferior charge. In fact, once sign the price that serves about to begin to rise, can consider to use it at this factory interior to upgrade in the factory. For example, electroanalysis polishing and the craft that titanium positive pole oxidizes to be able to become a factory to be introduced next likely. Graph 3 perpendicular conformity make this factory makes a process complete control counterpoises to its Nextpage is perpendicular and integrated, it is the only method that the successful supplier that this factory regards a medical treatment as the industry can answer the challenge that faces. Here other 3 kinds of methods are: (1) shorten setting time has 340 only because of the average batch of the factory, must install adroitly, and efficient attemper. Carry order of careful program operation, the factory can process similar work at the same time on a machine tool, reduce the cutting tool that must change when the setting with utmost ground. Attemper also make a factory can sufficient the effect that produces the setting personnel with limited amount, make a machine tool unapt stop to wait for long to install staff. Introduce according to making vice-president Eddie Peña, setting Switzerland lathe should spend 7h normally, this also is company of 3D Medical Manufacturing often holds the account that improves an activity, how to simplify in order to decide the setting of these machine tools. Recent activity, the factory was brought omnibus group studies together and improve existing flow, include machine tool of Swiss numerical control to be in charge of Mr Peña, numerical control director, tool and beforehand kit expert and production engineer. This group analysed original setting, include kinescope among them, of the record is flow not only each measure, also include the behavioral step that personnel of every setting in flow must take. From this can scale gives a pair of complex chart. Chart explained this setting personnel finishs the method of the task. The total time that sets so is less than 6h, and setting personnel walked in all 5170ft (1ft=304.

8mm, similarly hereinafter) . After examine and modifying this technological process, setting time shortens 3h41min, the pace row spacing of 125ft leaves. A marked change is working car was added in setting technological process. Now, the equipment with necessary etc of all documentation, cutting tool, measure, must have configured beforehand put into the car, by the setting personnel is in charge of accessing (graph 4) . Graph 4 factories intended such work small go-cart is installed with simplifying, these cars are mixed with tool, measure, manual of cutting tool, hand other the major article that sets need of place of a machine tool for a new job (2) tool controls the 2nd iteration that at present company of 3D Medical Manufacturing used MSC Industrial firm system of cutting tool sell goods (graph 5) . The factory uses this system to be able to dog well and truly each blame of every exercise is durable cutting tool, the cutting tool that provides day-to-day operation at the same time uses case report. This can control cost strictly not only, still can ensure the tool stocks of the factory, this is in past is a big question, meeting protraction machine down time brings about the tall freight of morrow. Once reach lowermost inventory level of the regulation, the system meets automatic sell goods order cutting tool automatically afresh, the cutting tool librarian of the factory when arriving will be new to load cutting tool. Graph after system of sell goods of cutting tool of 5 use MSC Industrial, cost of this factory control is stricter, the traceability that raised pair of cutting tool however, mr Peña points out, this system also can be regarded is a main unit that solves a problem. The cutting tool that the operator of every exercise gets has formulary amount. This system can be locked up try to get the operator that exceeds cutting tool of set limit to surely, inform a director the circumstance. Be in charge of meeting and operator one case, determine the cause with cutting tool attaint or faster than anticipating tatty. Below certain circumstance, operator shows an issue accurately, this means a likelihood to be necessary to change technological process. Below other condition, operator cannot decide an issue possibly. The director can help operator prove an issue, correct. This factory still enlarges this one concept to detect equipment. Special measuring tool or other measure need not be sought between billow take time so, ensured of these equipment ask duty make. (3) look board company of 3D Medical Manufacturing looks for what its biggest client builds board inventory system makes National People's Congress opens horizon. During the visit, the has packed beforehand stock that there is about 4 million dollar in the factory is preparing to deliver goods by client need batch. Mr Davis explanation says, the typical case of a kind of blame that this represented most plant is politic, but it is significant to company of 3D Medical Manufacturing. In the past, the client can want to be versed in the manufacturer quotes by small lot, their need is satisfied inside short time, such they need not provide for oneself too big stock. This makes attemper have challenge sex, when to because the factory does not know,order to have with batch how old. Additional, the client that encounters accident component demand to increase can issue an urgent order, disturbed exercise is ordinal. Maintain a certain level that packs inventory beforehand, its are important the meaning is: The job can plan effectively in the factory, because the order below the client is met,shift to an earlier date far. Mr Davis says, because be forecasted to the product,compare clarity, he also can plan to add new facility and staff better. To those large order clients, inventory agrees in the factory of fixed number pack beforehand, finished product spare parts and the raw material that assigned special alloy case. When inventory level reduces some to nod, can work this in order to inform production plans personnel introduce program. The key with this successful system is: Conclude with the client the likelihood runs 9, 12 or the long-term contract of 16 months. Mr Davis says, the manufacturer can conclude detailed client contract, because have firm of some of medical treatment OEM,hope and supplier build this sort model relation, but they do not know how to should be operated. The contract of this factory has specific provision, show those who make sure client place needs component or assembly parts how to both sides should cooperate for goods, and the manufacturer also need not have longer stock. Place of no less than Mr Davis points out, all these is to make a client satisfactory. Company of 3D Medical Manufacturing assures very gladly with Gao Shuiping's inventory. This factory returns upstream the supplier was pushed wide this concept, with its cutting tool supplier established similar relationship, in order to reduce integral tool cost. When signing long-term agreement with these suppliers, the factory also often can ask they offer appreciation to groom for employee. In fact, tool manufacturer agrees the delegate of accept metal company often is held in this factory groom class, still sign and issue certificate to exam eligible. These grooming the task that class place covers includes to spot bit trouble, those who decide optimal cutting parameter and common cutting tool is optimal deploy a method to wait. CNC Milling
