Scrap Reduction

Before

Yield underperformance of core production driving increased costs of £13m in 2019 and anticipated additional costs of £10m for 2020

After

Detecting scrap in the single grain crystallisation casting process using regression modelling and advanced analytics

The How

  1. Understand the impact of the core dimensions and tolerances on the casting process
  2. Collate data from all the core production and casting processes
  3. Trend visualisation, correlation and regression analysis
  4. Develop prediction models to indicate likelihood of scrappage occurring
