Precision Springs, Stampings & Micro-Formed Components worked example

Stamping Press Throughput at 99% expected stamping press throughput uptime: a worked example

Push expected stamping press throughput uptime up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when stamping press throughput in precision springs, stampings and micro-formed components is being asked to take on more work and you need to know if there is room.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Stamping press throughput output per cycle: 4 units / cycle (unchanged)
  • Available stamping press throughput cycles: 480 cycles (unchanged)
  • Expected stamping press throughput uptime: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)
  • Expected stamping press throughput first-pass yield: 97 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross stamping press throughput capacity = stamping press throughput output per cycle × available stamping press throughput cycles) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,844 units for good stamping press throughput capacity, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,920 units for gross stamping press throughput capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 19.2 units for stamping press throughput downtime loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 57.02 units for stamping press throughput yield loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where expected stamping press throughput uptime sits at 90% and the headline result is 1,676 units, this scenario comes in 10% above the baseline at 1,844 units.
  • It computes good-part capacity by multiplying output per cycle and available cycles to get gross capacity, then de-rating that by uptime and first-pass yield. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Good stamping press throughput capacity: 1,844 units (headline result)
  • Gross stamping press throughput capacity: 1,920 units
  • Stamping press throughput downtime loss: 19.2 units
  • Stamping press throughput yield loss: 57.02 units
