Value & cost improvement

Based on the global drive for improved emissions standards and fuel economy through after treatment implementation and light weight designs, producers are experiencing lower profit margins in order to keep competitive in the marketplace.

DJH Engineering Center, Inc. has developed cost reduction techniques that can be applied to either new product development or current production components to improve product profitability. These techniques can be applied to a variety of products scaling from heavy machinery all the way to consumer products. One of the key factors to the success is qualifying each cost improvement opportunity with analysis to ensure performance is not degraded.

Typical cost improvement areas of focus include:

  • Casting conversion (weldment-to-sand, green sand-to-lost foam, etc)
  • Wireformdesign
  • Powder metals
  • Part simplification
  • Plastic conversion
  • Part count reduction
  • Pin, boss, bushing, trinket commonization
  • Manufacturing process change (rotomold-to-blow mold, weldment-to-extrusion, etc)
  • High Strength Steel
  • Laser Welding
  • Structural Adhesives
