Short order section

Recently installing a section of 6 Emi-Mec sprints to cover low volume work from 3 to 52mm diameter, created a new short order section. This allows any parts required in say less than 1,000 lots to be tackled with the correct machinery i.e. quick to set up, and isolate the impact of low volume work from the general operations thereby ensuring that overall delivery performance is maintained.

This has led to a marked reduction in the demand for changeovers on the conventional machines, shortening of the lead times for all machining sections by removing low volume demand from them, and more efficient secondary operation turning due to their ability to semi-automate additional operations where required.
