KBP Coil Coaters Case Study

Ranked 24th amongst the top paint companies in the world by Coatings World – Top Companies Report

| The Purpose of this project is to increase overall sales by developing new products, increasing productivity and national presence and reducing dependence on equipment suppliers. To accomplish this creation of a new manufacturing plant is required. The plant will be built in a

This is the case study about the Car Components Manufacturing Company. The goal is to reduce the casting defects in the automobile engine. They used different

Curled Metal Inc (CMI) is a company whose strategy evolves selling products that used certain types of metal as a raw material. CMI rapidly grow in the last decade due to Slip-Seal, a product that meet the demanding specification of the automaker imposed by US strict environment legislation. In order to diversify offer from auto industry, CMI’s management decided to examine a new application for curled metal technology.

I do have previous experience in a manufacturing environment, working for Avery Dennison. Responsible for loading and unload of trucks with a forklift ,clamp truck and tow motor. My other previous work experience as Yard Jockey and Material Handler, moving large equipment for Husky Injection Molding. As you can see from my resume I am mechanically inclined. With my knowledge and background I would be an asset to your company. I have attached a copy of my resume highlighting my qualifications.

Cumberland Metal Industries (CMI) was a company which sold metal as raw material in other products. After the company had developed the product – Slip Seal that could meet the demanding specification of the automakers, it had grown rapidly over the past decade. The sales increased from $750,000 in 1991 to over $55 million in 2007. However, the sales decreased from 61 million in 2006 to 55 million in 2007, a net decrease of 9.5%, the net profit decreased from 5.7 million in 2006 to 3.5 million in 2007, a net decrease of 38.7%. The company was under the pressure to diversity its products in order to increase the sales and the net profit. CMI had developed new product, curled metal

The surface coating field is a rapidly developing area of science and technology that offers new methods and techniques to control friction and wear. New coating types are continually being developed and the potential applications in different industries are ever growing, ranging from machine parts and consumer products to medical instruments and prostheses. stainless steel fades when exposed to the environment. Modern technology increasing stresses on the material. Both the uses and the stresses have grown at a maximum rate than the number of materials that can be used to meet them. Although lot of work is done by producing new alloys with improved properties, there is a limit to the protection that can be afforded by this means alone. For this reason coatings have played an important role in protecting the structural metals from environmental attack.

Aluminum metal reacts with oxygen in the air to produce a thin hard film of aluminum oxide on the surface. Thus, as the aluminum oxide film becomes thicker, it will absorb moisture from the air. In fact, moisture is the source of hydrogen, which could affect the quality of the weld (e.g. porosity).

I want to start off by thanking you for the opportunity to help determine the future course of action for A-1 Product Finishing. I congratulate you on 13 years of great success in running your company. That is something to be very proud of. I hope can be of assistance to you and your business.

Westover Electrical, Inc., is a medium-size Houston manufacturer of wire windings used in making electric motors. Joe Wilson, VP operations, has experienced an increasing problem with rejected product found during the manufacturing operation. “I’m not sure where to begin,” admitted Joe at the weekly meeting with his boss. “Rejects in the Winding Department have been killing us the past two months. Nobody in operations has any idea why. I have just brought in a consultant, Roger Gagnon, to take a look at the situation and make recommendations about how we can find out what is going on. I don’t expect Roger to make technical recommendations—just see if he can

The economic downturn and the dynamic business environment drive companies to seek more efficient and effective maintenance methods (Van Horenbeek et al., 2010). Thus, the increasing competition in the market creates a need to search new ways in which companies can differentiate themselves and gain more profit and better competitiveness. To stay competitive and continue to produce profitably mining industries are always looking for ways to continuously improve and optimise their production processes especially when faced with falling or depressed metal prices as well as stiff global competition. Continuously changing world technologies, global competition, environmental and safety requirements as well as investing in total quality

Dean and Triana’s invention is running into trouble when it is used continuously for long periods of time because the cams are too soft, resulting in wear and misalignment in the invention. They already have all of the cams, so switching materials is not an option, so we must find a way to harden the surface of the cams to reduce wear. The cams are made of 1020 steel, which has a hardness of 111 HB, and only has 0.20% carbon, classifying it as a low carbon steel. For this reason we recommend that carburization be utilized to increase the carbon composition at the surface, and thus increase the surface hardness. This occurs because the presence of carbon interstitially diffused

HonorSteel 's heritage traces back to the very beginning started in 1947. Our history has always been in steelmaking in Australia. HonorSteel 's business has been built on the asset of our global partnerships, global networks and global brands. In India, we have established a joint project with the highly respected Tata conglomerate, a joint venture in Saudi Arabia is opening new opportunities in that expanding market, in North America, our 50:50 North Star HonorSteel Steel joint venture with Cargill continues to perform strongly, and our joint venture with Nylon Steel - NS HonorSteel Coated Products - will open exciting new markets and opportunities in Asia.

This project was entitled as “Investigation of Performance and Behavior of Cylinder Liner made of hypereutectic aluminium Silicon alloy with Lining of Copper with varying thickness.” The Central idea behind this project was to develop the substitute of the current cylinder liner material being used in automobiles and evaluate its performance and compare its results with the performance of current cylinder liner material. The culmination of this project was I submitted my project report to the supervisor of this project and also the university and successfully demonstrated it in front of university as well as college delegates. Along with that I successfully presented a review on Making of cylinder liners at the National conference on advances in Mechanical Engineering-2015 held at K.S.S.E.M
