In today’s difficult business environment, manufacturers are looking to boost their productivity and competitiveness - sustainably and substantially. ISCAR has launched a new 3P Productivity Plan, which already has helped hundreds of successful manufacturers to see an immediate savings of more than 25% in production cost due to an improvement in metalcutting productivity, plus better ROI, speed of delivery and all-around competitiveness.
Important changes The best part is that they see the gains sooner than they would by going it alone. Perhaps most important, they also acquire an organizational culture that welcomes change and continuous improvement. And who can put a price on that? Among the 3P Productivity partners are the biggest names in automotive, off-road equipment, aerospace and medical device manufacturing, as well as world-class contract manufacturers and die and mold shops. A multitude of countries around the globe are represented. And the roster grows monthly. One thing they share in common is the drive for sustainable improvement in overall profitability and competitiveness, not just a one-shot fix for a single operation. “Under the 3P Productivity Plan we follow a proven protocol leading to better productivity/profitability solutions sooner — and the advice is free,” says Jacob Harpaz, ISCAR CEO and IMC Group President. “We literally partner with the customer to improve their entire manufacturing environment, physically and organizationally.”
Immediate savings Experience has shown that the early retoolings generate enough savings to fund the more capital-intensive changes later on. “Their pay-as-you go approach made implementation much more affordable,” said one 3P partner, a European medical device manufacturer. Recently, these early retoolings have produced even larger savings, thanks to new ISCAR high-performance SUMO TEC tools. Featuring a proprietary coating treatment, these inserts outproduce and outlast conventional inserts by wide margins. ISCAR now offers most popular milling insert styles in SUMO TEC versions, and is expanding the SUMO TEC line to include tangential milling, holemaking, turning and parting tools as well.
We will go more in detail in the 3P programme in Eurotec’s next issue.
