After Taurus Tool and Engineering, a manufacturer of custom carbide cutting tools, lost its production facility to a disastrous fire, it was able to rebuild the business on an entirely new basis. New production methods and management practices enabled the company to achieve six essential goals.
- Provide fresh tool design thinking for better tool performance;
- Save all programs in one place and eliminate paper;
- Enable any machine to produce any tool;
- Reduce cycle times and improve turnaround times;
- Capture tool makers’ experience and eliminate tribal knowledge; and
- Make programming easy.
ANCA, a supplier of CNC tool grinders, played a key role in this recovery. Read the complete story, told from ANCA’s point of view is here.
