Quality Wins.
For machining efficiently all potentials for savings must be exploited.
Roughly, the costs of a work piece are composed as following:
| Machine costs with operator | |
| (machining time and idle time) | approx. 50 % |
| General costs | approx. 30 % |
| Raw material | approx. 15 % |
| Tooling | approx. 4 % |
| Tool holder | approx. 1 % |
Assumend you could save 50% at tool holders, tooling and machining time.
As a result the potentials for savings are: 100% 99,5%
| 100 | 1% | 0,5% | 98 % | |
| 4% | 4% | 1 % | ||
| 2 % | ||||

| 15% | 15% | 15 % | ||
| 80 | ||||
| 75% | ||||

| 70 | 4% | |||
| 30% | 30% | 30% |
60 15%
50 40 30% 30
50% 50% 50%
25%
| Cost structure 100% | 50% Savings | 50% Savings | 50% Savings at |
| at Tool Holding | at Tooling | Machining Time |
The result: The costs for tooling and tool holders are nearly meaningless. Even by savings of 50 % the total costs remain nearly the same.
only can be exploited when the cutting process is optimised.
