Material consumption
Hello
i m new in the world of injection molding. i m the production manager of a plant where we have 49 injection machine. I don t have a lot of experience in injection.
we have an issue with our material consumption i try to solve. we are consuming 10% more material than it s supposed to be and i need to solve this problem because it costs a lot of money to the company. we have the big picture, but we dont know from where it s coming from
the only control we have today is to weight the part at the beginning of each shift and check discrepancy. but even with this, i still have problem.
i was thinking about a device that could meseasure the real consumption of the machine but it seems this kind of device does not exist. am i right ? i would then compare current production versus theoritical, then deduct which item is giving the issues
can anyone give me best practice to put the consumption of material under control ?
thanks
Fabrice
