Machining questions result Quest. 1: Have you already carried out measures to increase material efficiency in your operations? This question concerns the following close yes, we are continuously working on material savings we have ideas available but implementation is proving difficult customers have occasionally proposed modifications our processes have not been changed for years no Quest. 2: Have you analysed your tool use and optimised it if possible? This question concerns the following close yes, the selection of suitable cutting material types and geometries in addition to efficient tool pre-settings are an integral component of our production process we document tool lives no, but the subject has been recognised as a savings potential no Quest. 3: Do you regularly reduce the consumption of cooling lubricants and have you already tried the use of minimum-quantity lubrication (MQL) or dry processing? This question concerns the following close yes, dry processing/MQL are successfully used by ourselves as an alternative to wet processing with cooling lubricants dry processing is not possible in our production but we could considerably reduce the use of cooling lubricants we have a wide range of different cooling lubricant types no Quest. 4: Are you working on reducing your reject and reworking rates? help This question concerns the following Rework means all measures that are executed on a defective product, so a salable state is reached. Causes of rework consist for example in insufficient production documents, in unsafe manufacturing processes, improper handling of materials, components and products in manufacturing or transportation or inadequate packing. close yes, the reject rate is very low and we hardly ever require reworking no, but we do know all about the rejection and reworking rates the rejection and reworking rate is only improved when we introduce technical innovations no, but we carry out reworking very thoroughly Quest. 5: Are you working on continuous reduction of your energy deployment? help This question concerns the following Large electricity consumers are as machine tools, the supply of process and auxiliaries (esp. Coolants), auxiliary equipment such as compressors, air conditioners, fans, pumps, lighting and heating. close yes no, but we know all about our energy deployment no Quest. 6: How are process optimisations accepted and implemented by the employees and how is information exchange between the departments carried out? This question concerns the following close there are regular cross-departmental employee meetings in which the technical developments are monitored and process flows optimised meetings covering product or process changes take place there is no cross-departmental exchange of views statistic data Number of your employees please choose 1 to 50 employee 51 to 250 employee 251 to 1000 employee more than 1000 employee your industrial sector please choose chemistry/process engineering printing industry electrical industry automotive manufacturing machinery and plant engineering recycling materials manufacture other plastic products other metal products other your main business sector: please choose consulting information production research
