System optimisation in fastening technology
Innovative ability and technical potential are becoming increasingly important as the basis for chances of success in a competitive environment. With our engineering service, we rise to the challenge to produce faster, at lower prices and more efficiently - at the same time ensuring highest quality.
Characteristics
A great part of the manufacturing costs for a product are determined in the design phase of a new development. Only to a very small extend does the economic efficiency of the fixing technology depend on the price of the fasteners. Processing costs for preparation and assembly of the components to be joined is of much greater importance.
The main cost drivers in the process are:
Design, procurement, quality assurance, logistics, stockkeeping, assembly preparation, final assembly and capital lockup.
Compared to that, the part price of the fastener amounting to 20 % is relatively low.
Conclusion: The earlier experts in fastening technology are involved, the higher is the influence on the entire supply chain.
