1. Materials Info : Your partners for Materials&Processes Materals info consultancy private limited, Pune, India raghavendra@materials-info.com Raghvendra Gopal
2. A company promoted by IITans, we provide end to end solutions in product development right from assisting in design finalization by providing inputs in materials, manufacturing processes, conducting CAE for the load cases, component development at supplier end, PPAP, APQP, supplier end systems and process audits design validation to conduct durability and reliability studies and root cause analysis for failures during validation to assign the root cause and take design actions Raghvendra Gopal
3. We provide support to companies and multinational establishing facilities in India for supply chain, test facility , third party inspection , Indegenisation of raw materials/components, dealing with local law/regulations. We also can provide support to companies outside India in various sectors for castings, forgings development from India to bring down their cost. We act as interface in such case for all development/tests andensuring adheerence to systems and final component requirements. Raghvendra Gopal
4. Your Pain Areas 1. Receipt stage: Material not to spec Process related issues Surface protection Other issues Raghvendra Gopal
5. Our solutions : Working with your suppliers to reduce rejections in the incoming stage for materials/processes followed by rejections at supplier factory , Thus increasing your response time for new developments and reducing development and supply costs. Raghvendra Gopal
6. 2. Critical Field failure i.e IPTV and design validation failures Our solutions: Working closely on your field failure/IPTV Data and carry out root cause analysis with problem solving tools alongwith internal teams to bring down IPTV, thus improving reliability of the product and improving brand image in case of IPTV and reducing the overall development time Raghvendra Gopal
7. 3. In process rejections: Our solutions : 1. Working through your complete process flow 2. Finding out the specific root cause to bring down the rejections , thus resulting in improved productivity, reduction in cost associated with the rejections. Raghvendra Gopal
8. 4. Low Process yield : Our solutions : 1. Study of the complete manufacturing process at all stages 2. Optimizing the process to improve yield. Raghvendra Gopal
9. 5. High development time for new products: Our solutions : 1. Study of the complete process for new project introduction. 2. Working on all stages of new product development 3. Finding out the bottleneck areas 4. Plugging the same to reduce the Development time and thus increasing response for new developments Raghvendra Gopal
10. 6. High DMC ( Direct material cost) : Our solutions : 1. Study of the complete design stages 2. Study the application of the part and associated load/working stresses/environment. 3. Suggest optimization of part and alternate grade /type materials to reduce cost. Raghvendra Gopal
11. 7. High cost of Imported Raw material/steel/components: Our solutions: 1. Study the application in detail 2. Work with the steel mills/raw material source/component manufacturer Raghvendra Gopal
12. 8. Delay in response/developing export applications: Our solutions: 1. Study of the raw material , standards and equivalent 2. Study of the whole manufacturing process spec and sequence Raghvendra Gopal
13. 9. Delay in taking up projects intensive to new materials/processes/surface protection adding value to end customer : Our solutions: 1.Benchmarking for various materials and processes 2.Trend analysis for new developments in materials and processes 3. Start pilot study /trials for the same 4. Project introduction Raghvendra Gopal
14. 10.Lack of Early Vendor involvement: Our solutions: 1. Involving your vendors in early stage of development. 2. Working with them continuously to bring down manufacturing process and material costs during development Raghvendra Gopal
15. 11.Weight above benchmark with low fuel efficiency: Our solutions: 1. Study of benchmark vehicle 2. Alternate materials, constructions and design to bring down the weight including design with Aluminium, hybrid and plastic. 3. Working with internal teams for ride/handling and durability aspect of proposed design till implementation. Raghvendra Gopal
16. Other Support Areas: 1. Working with internal project teams in the area of QFD, DFMEA, Design for six sigma ,reliability, Lean process . 2. Awareness trainings for Quality systems, DFMEA, manufacturing process, materials technology, other Quaity tools including problem solving both for the organisation and the critical suppliers i.e development partners. 3. Design validation right from data acquisition support, understanding usage requirement, QFD, co ordination with external test labs for design validation, materials and process validation, dimensional and other tests.
