Questionaire

Quest. 1: Have you already carried out measures to increase material efficiency in your operations?

This question concerns the following

yes, we are continuously working on material savings
we have ideas available but implementation is proving difficult
customers have occasionally proposed modifications
our processes have not been changed for years
no

Quest. 2: Have you analysed your tool use and optimised it if possible?

This question concerns the following

yes, the selection of suitable cutting material types and geometries in addition to efficient tool pre-settings are an integral component of our production process
we document tool lives
no, but the subject has been recognised as a savings potential
no

Quest. 3: Do you regularly reduce the consumption of cooling lubricants and have you already tried the use of minimum-quantity lubrication (MQL) or dry processing?

This question concerns the following

yes, dry processing/MQL are successfully used by ourselves as an alternative to wet processing with cooling lubricants
dry processing is not possible in our production but we could considerably reduce the use of cooling lubricants
we have a wide range of different cooling lubricant types
no

Quest. 4: Are you working on reducing your reject and reworking rates? help

This question concerns the following

Rework means all measures that are executed on a defective product, so a salable state is reached. Causes of rework consist for example in insufficient production documents, in unsafe manufacturing processes, improper handling of materials, components and products in manufacturing or transportation or inadequate packing.

yes, the reject rate is very low and we hardly ever require reworking
no, but we do know all about the rejection and reworking rates
the rejection and reworking rate is only improved when we introduce technical innovations
no, but we carry out reworking very thoroughly

Quest. 5: Are you working on continuous reduction of your energy deployment? help

This question concerns the following

Large electricity consumers are as machine tools, the supply of process and auxiliaries (esp. Coolants), auxiliary equipment such as compressors, air conditioners, fans, pumps, lighting and heating.

yes
no, but we know all about our energy deployment
no

Quest. 6: How are process optimisations accepted and implemented by the employees and how is information exchange between the departments carried out?

This question concerns the following

there are regular cross-departmental employee meetings in which the technical developments are monitored and process flows optimised
meetings covering product or process changes take place
there is no cross-departmental exchange of views
