Costs Reduced – Reliability Improved at Midwest Manufacturer
Jan, 16 2026
Case Studies
This Midwest manufacturer of aluminum castings was challenged with reducing scrap and related costs. One area of interest was their cooling system performance. If the aluminum parts were cooled too quickly, they would shrink and become out of specification resulting in high scrap costs, increased costs of quality monitoring, and ultimately an unsatisfied customer. The plant wanted to start small and concentrate on monitoring what could have an immediate impact.
