Does the design work? Can it be manufactured? In mass production, however, these questions determine costs, delivery reliability, and the complaint rate.   <\/p>\n<p>Those are the right questions, but they aren\u2019t enough for mass production. A production run of 500 or 5,000 parts places different demands on tolerance specifications, material selection, ramp-up planning, and delivery flexibility. What may be considered an isolated incident with a prototype becomes a systematic problem in series production. And systematic problems get expensive. Learn where the critical decisions are made at BVS and what designers, buyers, and planners need to know before the first production run begins.    <\/p>\n<p>Planning a production project? Have the design and production launch reviewed from a technical standpoint in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-mhw369t4-63c2af2c919d80ca201a50a07cc20915-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/contact\/'  class='avia-button av-mhw369t4-63c2af2c919d80ca201a50a07cc20915 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-dark'  ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Contact Us Now<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class='flex_column av-hzm6p1-67a84f5a227ed4e74a45501a795c19d2 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mhw34s4c-afe1179daaebc66d47dbdc0ae9976d0f\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mhw34s4c-afe1179daaebc66d47dbdc0ae9976d0f{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mhw34s4c-afe1179daaebc66d47dbdc0ae9976d0f .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mhw34s4c-afe1179daaebc66d47dbdc0ae9976d0f .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mhw34s4c-afe1179daaebc66d47dbdc0ae9976d0f av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-6  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The most costly mistakes occur before production begins<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mhw35zmx-dc8ce36001b9acaf54b71008dfc8b3d7'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The most costly mistakes in sheet metal production don&#8217;t happen at the machine. They happen at the desk, often weeks before the first order. <\/p>\n<p>The most common and costly error in mass production is an unrecognized tolerance issue. During the design phase, a nominal dimension is specified first. The actual desired, asymmetric tolerance is then noted separately, without adjusting the nominal dimension itself. The manufacturing facility adopts the CAD value and produces parts based on it. The result becomes apparent in practice: The designer intended 399.7 mm, but the part was manufactured to 400.0 mm. During assembly, the parts do not fit together. The order is complete, inspected, and perhaps already delivered. Now the discussions begin about who will bear the additional costs. The principle that prevents such situations is simple: Tolerances must be specified centered on the nominal dimension. If you need 399.7 mm, draw 399.7 mm.        <\/p>\n<p>Feasibility questions also belong in this early phase. Whether a bend can be achieved in the planned form, whether a bending radius is compatible with the material, and whether the intended joining technique is suitable for the design\u2014all of this can be clarified before mass production begins in a brief technical discussion. Once mass production has begun, corrective measures are either impossible or so expensive that they throw off the cost estimate for the entire order. A feasibility study before the first order is therefore the most cost-effective way to prevent errors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='flex_column av-8ke221-8f3e0fcdc604c4949d4207da52c0bf34 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mhw36ps6-28f31da55e93df306c0b0eb2fb3bb3b7\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mhw36ps6-28f31da55e93df306c0b0eb2fb3bb3b7{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mhw36ps6-28f31da55e93df306c0b0eb2fb3bb3b7 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mhw36ps6-28f31da55e93df306c0b0eb2fb3bb3b7 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mhw36ps6-28f31da55e93df306c0b0eb2fb3bb3b7 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-9  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The start of series production determines the success of the entire production process<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-miq865f3-b359e79457e173fe9ee495803ea30daa'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>A scenario that plays out time and again: A buyer signs the production order and expects production to begin within a few days. The delivery deadline is tight, and the pressure is high. Two weeks later, the first part still hasn\u2019t been produced\u2014not because production is slow, but because production runs require preparation.  <\/p>\n<p>The answer is not that anyone is working too slowly. In the first few days after an order is received, we verify whether the quantities, prices, and delivery dates actually match the quote. Within a maximum of three days, the customer receives a binding order confirmation. Production itself usually begins one to two weeks later, as this time is needed to prepare tools, set production parameters, and organize the supply of materials. Anyone who cuts this phase short under time pressure risks startup problems that will carry over into the entire production run. For buyers, this has a simple implication: If you want realistic delivery times, you must factor in the lead time from the very beginning. If you ignore it, you create pressure that will eventually manifest elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='flex_column av-fz8391-ef67542ad9c4ca0aa1ddc7ecfe8c1421 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-miq842a4-1acc9f00f49c99a302bef120c71ea950\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-miq842a4-1acc9f00f49c99a302bef120c71ea950{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-miq842a4-1acc9f00f49c99a302bef120c71ea950 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-miq842a4-1acc9f00f49c99a302bef120c71ea950 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-miq842a4-1acc9f00f49c99a302bef120c71ea950 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-12  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Consistent quality throughout the entire series<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-miq86ejq-4b80b8a90bfbb25c729e1073eea51b14'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The greatest quality risk in mass production lies not in the first part, but in the last one. Process variations that build up over the course of a long production run are invisible at the beginning and only become noticeable once a large number of parts have already been affected. <\/p>\n<p>Reliable quality assurance therefore begins and ends at both ends of the production run: The first and last parts of a series are inspected on the measuring machine. In between, measurements are taken throughout the production run so that deviations can be detected before they affect a larger number of parts. <\/p>\n<p>One particularly underestimated variable is the raw material itself. Sheet metal varies from batch to batch, and these variations are not trivial. Even a 0.03 mm deviation in sheet thickness can cause an angle error of one degree during bending. Parts from two different batches can therefore yield different bending results, even though the machine is set identically. The solution is consistent batch separation: sheets from different delivery batches are not mixed. This maintains process stability, and any variations that occur can be clearly traced to a specific cause.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='flex_column av-e3yjbp-2dcf44b93e932b003077e073192ad6df av_one_full  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mhw3bxuw-57a1302cb0cdf74b37c49b9ee3b3925b\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mhw3bxuw-57a1302cb0cdf74b37c49b9ee3b3925b{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mhw3bxuw-57a1302cb0cdf74b37c49b9ee3b3925b .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mhw3bxuw-57a1302cb0cdf74b37c49b9ee3b3925b .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mhw3bxuw-57a1302cb0cdf74b37c49b9ee3b3925b av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Flexibility in the current series<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mhw3ch33-02f1f1a7e86f84635d6a1e179661ed48'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>No order schedule can fully withstand the test of reality. Sometimes a customer places more orders than agreed upon, and sometimes fewer. How a manufacturing company handles this situation determines its ability to deliver.  <\/p>\n<p>Annual contracts or framework agreements have proven effective, as they allow for forward-looking production\u2014typically about one month\u2019s worth of inventory, which is held in the warehouse as a buffer.

The result is parts that do not fit together during assembly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-mhw3ldif-5a396a8ce818cbbc5847d73b6cc6c5aa'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2'>How do material variations affect an ongoing production run?  <span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-2' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Even a 0.03 mm variation in sheet metal thickness can cause a one-degree angle error during bending. As a result, parts from different material batches may yield different bending results, even though the machine settings are identical. Consistent batch separation reliably prevents such variations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-mhw3ylr0-4cff24766dc924df024e9af73da4be53'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><h3 data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3'>When is it more cost-effective to purchase a pre-assembled unit rather than individual parts?  <span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/h3><div id='toggle-id-3' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Basically, always.

The manufacturing facility produces approximately one month\u2019s worth of product in advance and stores it as a buffer. If the customer orders more than planned, the product is shipped from inventory. This stabilizes delivery times for the customer and enables a more even utilization of production capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[275,278],"tags":[249,25,252,244,251,243,253,254,41,248,255],"class_list":{"0":"post-7700","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-blog","9":"tag-automation","10":"tag-bvs-sheet-metal-technology","11":"tag-innovation","13":"tag-made-in-germany","15":"tag-mechanical-engineering","16":"tag-middle-class","17":"tag-sheet-metal-processing","18":"tag-success-story","19":"tag-sustainable-production"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7700"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7703,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7700\/revisions\/7703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bvs-blechtechnik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
