Case Studies

Ohio Machined Products - Case Study 1 Earl Products is a leading supplier to the Mining industry. One of their main products is the roof support bolt and the Double Twist bolt. The double Twist unit reduced bolt installation failure from 11% to less than 1%. Ohio Machined Products has worked with Earl Products on several projects by assisting them in their design to make an easier and cheaper part to manufacture without reducing (and in some cases improving) final product quality. OMP has also assisted Earl products on their own internal assembly operations. OMP welcomes challenges to improve your product with the ultimate goal of reducing cost and maintaining part integrity. Give us the opportunity to work with you, you won’t be disappointed.

Ohio Machined Products - Case Study 2 Shape Corporation http://www.shapecorp.com is a leader in the automotive and industrial component industries. It is the largest manufacturer of inner bumpers in the world. It provides 80% of domestic automotive inner bumpers and 30% for the Japanese market manufacturers. Shape submitted a bid to Nissan for an inner bumper part and got the order. After submitting the original bid Nissan changed the original specification that would have required an additional machining process adding considerable cost to the part. Nissan insisted however that Shape honor the original bid. Shape asked Ohio Machined Products to see if there was anything they could think of to do that would both meet Nissan’s specifications and keep the increase cost of the part near its original price. OMP made some design suggestions that would maintain the complete integrity of the part but also resulted in a 30% savings in the final production costs. Customers quite often send their proposals to OMP for review and evaluation to make their parts most cost effective. We at OMP would welcome the opportunity to do the same for your company.
