However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Many small to mid-sized manufacturers believe their documentation bases are covered if they’re capturing designs in a CAD tool. If priority is given to evaluating and improving your manufacturing processes, it becomes much easier to reduce the amount of scrap and rework in your organization. And while no one, especially an operations manager, wants to admit it, these expenses add up quickly and negatively impact the bottom line.Īlthough it is near-impossible to eliminate scrap and rework completely, you can reduce the amount of scrap and rework in your organization by optimizing the way you document product data, review manufacturing processes, and communicate manufacturing and engineering changes throughout your supply chain.
Scrap and rework costs are caused by many things-when the wrong parts are ordered, when engineering changes aren’t effectively communicated or when designs aren’t properly executed on the manufacturing line.No matter why scrap and rework occurs, its impact on an organization is always the same-wasted time and money. Scrap and rework costs are a manufacturing reality impacting organizations across all industries and product lines.
