Maximize Toolroom Efficiency: Cost-Saving Mold Cleaning Strategies
Moldmaking Expo (Session 22) Thursday, June 25 at 9:45am
How much time and money did you spend cleaning your molds last year versus important bench-related repair activities like tooling replacement, fitting, reworking, polishing and other corrective action tasks? In most cases, the time required just to clean molds makes up anywhere from 50 to 75 percent of the time a mold spends in the shop. Does your mold maintenance program support your organization's lean manufacturing processes?
This seminar will cover what you need to know about improving efficiencies in mold cleaning to minimize labor, down time, tooling damage, and resultant scrap. In addition, it will focus on best practices of these environmentally-responsible methods for cleaning molds and components as well as data analysis that can save your shop thousands-and quite possibly hundreds of thousands-of dollars in labor, scrap, and rework costs.
