Success Stories: 30% Production Increase with MFS
We analyze how a plant in Chile managed to optimize its processes after implementing our consulting.
The Challenge
One of the largest forming plants in the central region of Chile faced a critical problem: its main line suffered constant stoppages due to welding problems and premature tool wear. The plant's OEE had dropped to 62%.
Before MFS
- Frequent stops for adjustment
- 15% material waste
- Short lifespan of consumables
After MFS
- OEE increased to 85%
- Waste reduced to 3%
- Optimized energy consumption
The Implemented Solution
Our technical team conducted a complete audit of the line. A new AGR filtering system for the lubricant was implemented, the tooling package was redesigned, and the impeders were updated to a return flow system.
The result was immediate: a cleaner weld, lower temperature in the critical zone, and a sustained increase in line speed of 30%, exceeding the client's initial expectations.
