FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PDF download of this Success Story Iowa Engineered Processes Success Story: Seong Shin Precision THE PROBLEM: Seong Shin Precision Co, Ltd. (SSP) is a South Korean manufacture of precision parts for the automobile industry. To survive in the highly competitive Korean automobile marketplace, it is imperative to consistently and economically produce high quality parts. On a monthly average, SSP manufactures 12,400 power steering pumps. SSP had been using a conventional shot blasting and hand deburring process for cleaning the pump housings. This process required four dedicated employees and resulted in a first time rejection rate of 40%. Numerous inspections and reworks were required to meet production quotas. Seong Shin Precision realized a change was needed in how parts are cleaned and deburred if they were to remain competitive, keep existing business and attract new business. THE SOLUTION: Iowa Engineered Processes’ Cascade Cleaning and Deburring System was incorporated into SSP’s power steering pump production line and the results were immediate and profound. Utilizing robotic loading and unloading, project dedicated employees dropped from 4 to 1 and the time needed to clean and debur 12,400 parts fell from 592 hours to just 126 hours. One of the most impressive impacts was on the rejection rate. While the old process resulted in a 40% rejection rate, the Cascade System “achieved a rejection rate of almost 0%.” The Cascade System provides consistent, cost effective cleaning and deburring.
