Manufacturing economics

Cutting tools represent around 3-4% of the component cost, changes in tool life and price will only have a minor effect.

The bottom line for major savings is to reduce production time and increase the utilization of the machine tool. This can reduce component cost by more than 10%.

One way to attack these costs is to run a Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) in your plant.
