Converting Capabilities
Case Study
Problem
- The need for a cold sore dressing manufactured in the UK
- High volume production at low cost
Solution
- To keep cost to a minimum and maximize daily production we designed a process that would enable maximum usage and efficiency of the machine width.
- This meant that we could produce to the volumes required (5,000,000/month) and at a highly competitive cost in this market
Result
- Utilizing maximum material efficiency through layout of the products
- Enabling product complexity so final users' performance was not reduced but simplifying the design to ensure maximum efficiency
