At ALNO Product Services it is our experience that
sets us apart from our competitors the process of injection moulding frequently
involves problem solving. Many of the problems regularly faced by a
moulder are quality related problems including: short shots, flash, dimensional
issues, warp, and cosmetic concerns. The moulder is also frequently
confronted with the need to reduce cycle times and/or increase yields.
The cumulative experience of a truly
cross-functional team is powerful as both an informal and formal problem
solving tool. When tackling a complex moulding problem, it is a good
practice to involve personnel from moulding, tooling, design, and quality.
This can be done in an informal shop floor setting or in a conference
room. A group of technical people getting together to share their
experiences in solving a problem is a technique called “brainstorming” which
leads into our next blog discussion of structured or formal problem solving
tools.

moulding challenges are too much contact ALNO Product services today.
