    Air Power Airwaves S5E2 - Exploring the high cost of tools in Manufacturing & how selecting proper tools can save you money
    2025/02/28

    In the latest episode of Air Power Airwaves we are exploring the high cost of tools in Assembly Manufacturing...and how to be sure you are selecting the right tool to save you money$$$

    Selecting the wrong tool doesn't just cost you the price of the tool, it cost you much more in down-time, inferior productivity, substandard quality of output and worker safety. We all know this, but thanks to the new Whitepaper commissioned and release by Cleco Production tools...we have the actual numbers.

    In this episode we discuss this new study with Josh Ference from Cleco and Matt Tuttle from Air Power to find out the causes and effects of "SAVING" money on the front-end of a tool purchase. We cover;

    • What are the causes of downtime in manufacturing?

    • The cost of downtime in manufacturing

    • Choosing the right tool for the job (Safety Critical vs Quality Critical vs Functional)

    • Operator Training
