Time-saving techniques boost bottom line at B&J
Nevada Industry Excellence, the industrial outreach arm of the Nevada System of Higher Education, helped B&J reduce production times by:
• trimming the number of dies used to form the product parts from seven to four.
• cutting time from the manufacturing setup process.
• creating an improved work flow for manufacturing and assembly of the product.
“Higher efficiency translates to lower cost to produce the item, which makes them more competitive,” says Bob Bricca, project manager for Nevada Industry Excellence. “If they can make the item for less, they can beat their competitors.”
