Case story – ANT REVO – Parts on multi-axis machines (jpg)

In 2008, when aerospace sub-contractor ANT Industries carried out a study on its production processes with the aim to make improvements, it was clear that inspection was a major bottleneck. “There were thousands of non-productive hours a year where parts were either in inspection or waiting to be inspected. These are expensive parts without any value being added”, says Shaun Rowley, ANT’s Manufacturing and Sales Director.
