Voice of Vendors How to develop a robust supply chain for producing Products to Global Standards of Quality, Costs and Delivery Presented by: Ritesh Patel - HEATTRANS
Introduction of Foundry and Casting • Indian Foundry, Progressing towards world class infrastructure • Meeting global standards of quality • Increased share in global supply chain of OEM • Problems facing by Indian Foundry • Labor dependence ( Manual work) • Lack of trained manpower • Inflation in raw material prices and scarcity of good quality raw material
Support and Expectation by Supplier from OEM • Proper Planning • Drawing clarity with machining allowance and rev no. • Good pattern equipment as per foundry requirement • Involvement of foundry, pattern maker and OEM for methoding • Provide best possible support to foundry for job development • Effective communication channel to address issues fast • Work collectively. Consider rejection as National Loss.
Steps to raise Quality and Aesthetics to Global Standard • Make quality and aesthetic improvement as common objective with foundry • Define your quality and aesthetic needs - Grade and metallurgy requirements - Casting soundness requirement as per your required std. • Keep a track of developments in related fields, update knowledge base • Train OEM team on foundry practice and methodology • Review defects jointly with casting supplier monthly or quarterly
Ideas on Providing consistent Quality, Delivery & Cost • Avoid emergency (delay in execution or improper inventory planning) • Give suitable job to foundry as per their expertise and infrastructure • Identify foundry by foundry process, capacity and expertise • Categories your casting need and select suitable foundry • Invest in good quality pattern
Good Practices from other INDUSTRIES • Machine manufacturer should give fundamental idea of machine operation to casting supplier, where their casting is going to be used • OEM should also share their experience of casting problems • Prepare list of requirements with graphical presentation to convey it to foundry man • Ask supplier to confirm minimum quality requirements prior to dispatch. • Give and share first article report to foundry - Dimension deviation - Machining allowances etc to avoid rejection in future • Put efforts to make “Made in India” Brand more meaningful and successful
Thank you “Foundry Man feels PRIDE when they see their creation on world class machines”
