  3. DESIGNING • Improve the Layoutusingcloseness matrix and Clean ! • More CAD PARTS SUPPLYING • Make-to-orderStrategy Inventorymanagingisdifficult • Reduceinventory holding costs and avoidtoomuchorderingcosts • ForecastingStrategy  Trend adjustedexponentialsmoothingmethod

  4. WATERJETS • Cutcomplexshapeswithoutharming • Can cut soft materials • Requiresspecial attention LASER • Most expensiveway to cut • Works for thinnermaterials - Metals • Fasterthananyothercuttingprocess HIGH DEFINITION PLASMA • 1/10 the price of laser • Much slowerthan laser • Used for thickermaterials - Metals

  5. C&C BROKE • Rapid/mass production • Add device; spring table • Help workers not to spend unnecessary strength. • Higher productivity, or production speed. • Doesn’t cost much DRILLING • Accuracy, efficiency.. • To make magazine part longer • Reduceunnecessary movement of workers • Save costs

  6. ROBOTIC WELDING • Is having accurate and dangerous work being done with machine and efficiency. • Adding more machines • Faster process • reduce speed imbalance with previous process. • reduce waiting time between present and • previous process

  7. FORGING • Need high skilled workers • Not fast enough • Process important for customization  Keep it as hand working BRUSHING • Each part done one by one  Long waiting time • This process need delicacy and quality checking  Keep hand working • Add workers to fasten the process PAINTING BLACK • Painter moving a lot in the line • Make the two parts of the line closer to allow him working faster PATTERN COATING • Products moved into the hoven one by one by hand • Use of Wagons or automatized line

  8. Increase advertisement, communication and visibility (50% of clients come from other client’s recommendation) Reorganizing the machines’ position • 2 bins system  Avoidwaiting for parts and betterway to move them Consolidatetheir positon within the industyand expandit • Internal company • More energy into design • Trying to keep skilled workforce and improve the safety of production • Improving the operation, marketing or financial level • External company • Expand to other countries
