Acme Industries | Beyond Precision
 
Acme does not make Anvils.
Acme does manufacture Axles - big Axles!

Serious savings

Customer Challenge
Our customer, a global leader in construction, needed a collaborative partner to improve the supply chain on a critical axle assembly. The existing supply chain partner was unable to support strategic goals for the product line as well as long-term product life cycle initiatives.

Beyond Precision Solution
Acme shortened the supply chain through improved machining processes that included set up and cycle time reductions. A world-class team of engineers from Acme and the customer collaborated to uncover existing end user challenges and develop short- and long-term resolutions.

Acme Value
Significant reductions in cost to OEM were achieved and product design was improved. Additional value was realized by increased throughput and efficiency at the OEM assembly line.

Cross-Divisional Success

Customer Need

As a result of an ongoing and successful relationship, one of Acme's oil and gas customers referred our company to its division that manufactures products used in drilling applications. A great supplier was needed to provide the capacity required for the division's growth and fulfillment of year-end commitments.

Beyond Precision Solution
Acme quickly gathered engineering resources and visited the customer to determine the best way to simultaneously address seven new part numbers. An aggressive timeline allowed for production of 36 sets of two-part families in five months so the division could meet year-end goals.

Acme Value
By understanding the application and making design for manufacturability recommendations, Acme's customer-centric, problem-solving approach enabled the division to fulfill its short term commitments. Additionally, long-term improvements were made to the manufacturing process resulting in increased consistency in part quality. Synergy!
