Case studies of wiring duct processing service
Company H manufactures and sells plant and environmental equipment. The company also manufactures numerous control panels for septic tanks and wastewater treatment facilities and decided to introduce this service as part of work to reduce costs for the standard control panels.
We introduced the service in the flow as shown below.
- Quotation based on real item Because there were no individual drawings of the wiring ducts, we submitted our quotation after measuring the dimensions and checking the specifications of the real item
- Evaluation of prototypes We delivered prototypes manufactured with the quoted specifications and asked Company H to evaluate them.
- Mass production start consultation Based on the evaluation of the prototypes, we discussed the specifications for mass production (adjustment of dimensions, additions / deletions, etc.)
The company told us that we not only reduced their manufacturing costs but also reduced costs which they were not usually conscious of such as processing costs for duct material leftover.
