Routing Inconsistency Leading to Microstructural Defects
$Unknown - industry-wide recurring defect costs from routing errorsIn steel manufacturing, variations in customer specification review and process routing cause unpredictable microstructures and properties, resulting in material that fails to meet full specification requirements. Small deviations compound across multiple processing steps, particularly affecting properties like grain size and texture sensitive to processing history. This leads to recurring quality failures requiring rework or scrap.
Bottlenecks from Poor Routing and Scheduling Integration
$Up to 30% reduction in overtime equivalent to capacity lossManual or tribal knowledge-based routing in steel fabrication creates double-booked assets and production bottlenecks, leading to idle equipment and delayed throughput. Without proper routing optimization, shops experience chaos on the floor, requiring overtime to resolve conflicts that could be anticipated. This results in lost capacity and reduced equipment utilization.
