Setting Up In-House Injection Moulding
Do you want to move from buying parts to your own injection moulding? We help you design the new department, from the machines and the moulds to the people, the production flow and the organisation.
Why it is not simple
Buying a machine is the easy part.
Own injection moulding can lower cost, shorten lead times and protect a product. It also brings moulds to maintain, materials to dry, settings to hold, scrap to control, people to train and a quality system to run. Many new departments stay below their capacity for years because these were not planned together.
efce's founder ran an injection moulding company for eighteen years, with its own mould shop, supplying demanding international customers. That is the experience we bring to your new department.
What we take on
- Feasibility study
- Make-vs-buy
- Choice of injection machines
- Peripheral equipment
- Moulds
- Materials
- Capacity
- Layout
- People
- Procedures
- Quality
- Production organisation
- Choice of suppliers
- Start-up of the new department
What we do not do
We do not take on the production of parts. We help you set up your own.
How we work
From the first figures to parts coming off your own machines.
-
Feasibility
Which parts, what volumes, what they cost today and what they would cost in-house, including moulds, people and space.
-
The department on paper
Machines and peripherals, capacity, layout, material handling, people and the investment plan.
-
Suppliers and moulds
Technical evaluation of machine and peripheral offers, and moulds designed and supervised through to release.
-
Procedures and quality
Work instructions, process settings, inspection plans and traceability that people on the floor can follow.
-
Start-up
On site through installation, the first production runs and the training of your people.
Thinking of setting up your own injection moulding production?
Tell us which parts you buy today, in what quantities and at what price. A first feasibility view usually shows quickly whether the idea is worth a full study.
