DGS Technical Services helps Equipment Device makers to reduce costs

The current pandemic is forcing businesses to thoroughly examine their cost structure. While industries those are bearing unavoidable costs are more impacted than others, majority of the organizations are proactively seeking ways to cut costs.
Food Processing Equipment and Storage / Packaging automation is facing big challenges in getting an optimized cost of their process to become available to several nations which are facing severe drought situation and skilled manpower availability. Globalization after reaching its peak especially with mergers and acquisitions in a big way has been reversing, thus overall availability of equipments is not as much developed in emerging markets as in western world; product brand and quality becomes a differentiator to penetrate into emerging world. However, in order to cover large consumer base, Cost is the critical parameter which is mandatory to primarily focus on despite of several other parameters.

Business Need:

Towards an effort to penetrate into emerging markets, a renowned Food processing Equipment manufacturer partnered with DGS Technical Services as a part of their long term strategy. Under this partnership, DGS Technical Services was given an assignment of reducing the cost of packaging and process – an Electromechanical System by 20%. DGS Technical Services was provided with a list of following constraints to ensure compliance while executing the overall project:
  • Changes should be Reverse Compatible
  • ROI within 2 years
  • Minimum 5% individual part cost savings
  • No product re-validation
  • No evident changes to End Customer
  • No changes in Ergonomics

No changes in Ergonomics

DGS Technical Services started this project with a Mechanical Engineer and an Electronics Engineer deputed at customer’s site for 3 weeks to gain the overall understanding of Product specifications, Functions, Installation, Assembly, Calibration, Packaging and Shipping processes in addition to collecting all the engineering data. After the training program, the complete knowledge was transferred to offshore team in order to facilitate project kick off.
The project was executed in 4 phases
