Zero Defect Requirements

High Energy Costs

>  Low Profit Margin
Are you operating your process at the optimum profit level?

PROBLEM: Low profit margins
Processes that require heating energy for the product and plants that dry or remove moisture from the product have had energy costs rise, several fold, in recent years.

SOLUTION:
Measuremate software provides the means to use the measurement data from UAI gages to increase the profit generated from the production process. Plants that do not have good process control, "overbuild" the product to make sure that all product shipped is beyond specification. Plants do this because they know there is variation in the product and by "overbuilding" they can prevent "out of spec." product from being shipped to the customer. Measuremate and UAI gages improve quality (enhanced customer satisfaction) and increase profits. Measuremate grades every unit of product ensuring that all defective product is graded out at the plant. Second Measuremate provides the means to operate at a more efficient (optimized) production model based on cycle time, defect rate, product cost, energy cost and selling price. A very elementary example of this is shown in the right column:



Production of Acme Widgets

Assumptions before Measuremate

Widget cost = $1.00 ea
Widget selling price = $5.00 ea
Widget production rate = 200/day
Widget defect rate=0%
Widget profit = $800/day*

With Measuremate

Widget cost = $1.00 ea
Widget selling price = $5.00 ea
Widget production rate = 400/day
Widget defect rate=10%
Widget profit = $1,400/day**

* (200-0)x$5.00-(200x$1.00) = $800/day

**(400-40)x$5.00-(400x$1.00) = $1,400/day
