CASE STUDY 02 · Industrial Tooling & Engineered Fastening
Fortune 500 Tools & Fastening Manufacturer
Global engineered fastening · Supplies automotive, aerospace and medical device OEMs
THE OUTCOME
Arcessio found the one part in a tooling BOM where a different process changed the economics, picked the material and the qualified supplier, and cut an 8-week cycle to 9 days at half the cost.
End-use metal production part delivered, against an 8-week lead time
Cost per part reduction, from $120 to $61 at 15 units per year
Queued for the same treatment after the first part entered production
The challenge
Production-line tooling depends on highly customized parts made at low volume with complex geometry. Each design iteration ran eight weeks, with costs escalating across iterations.
The solution
An entire tooling BOM was screened in one pass. Analysis flagged a wire lifter in A2 tool steel for metal AM, matched it to maraging steel MS1, and routed it to a qualified service bureau.
