Mold aspect
Optimized design: under the premise of meeting the design requirements of the badge, simplify the shape and structure of the badge as much as possible, reduce the complexity of the mold, so as to reduce the design and processing costs of the mold. For example, avoid using too fine lines and complex three-dimensional modeling, and use simple and generous patterns and shapes.
Choose the right mold material: according to the production batch and material requirements of the badge, choose the cost-effective mold material. For small and medium-sized batch production, it is not necessary to choose high cost high-quality die steel, you can choose some relatively good performance and moderate price materials.
Improve the service life of the mold: rationally arrange the production plan to avoid the overuse and frequent replacement of the mold. Carry out regular maintenance and maintenance of the mold, such as cleaning, lubrication, check the wear situation, etc., timely find and deal with the small problems of the mold, to prevent the expansion of the problem leading to the early scrapping of the mold.
Mold sharing or leasing: If the company’s own badge production needs are not very frequent, or it is a one-time large number of orders, you can consider sharing molds with other companies in demand, or directly leasing molds, which can save the production cost of molds.
Material aspect
Find quality suppliers: Find raw material suppliers through multiple channels, price comparison and quality assessment. Establish long-term and stable cooperative relations with suppliers, and strive for more favorable purchase prices and payment terms. At the same time, it can be considered to conduct centralized procurement with other enterprises to increase the purchase volume and improve bargaining power.
Optimize material utilization rate: In the stamping process, through reasonable layout design, improve the utilization rate of materials and reduce the generation of waste. The use of advanced typesetting software and technology, according to the shape and size of the badge, precisely calculate the best layout of the material, so that each sheet or coil can produce more badges.
Choose alternative materials: Find suitable alternative materials without compromising the quality and appearance of the badge. For example, for some badges that do not have high requirements for metal texture, you can consider using materials such as plastic or resin to replace metal materials, which have lower costs and good processing performance.
Processing aspect
Improve production efficiency: The introduction of advanced stamping equipment and technology, improve the degree of production automation, reduce manual operations, so as to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. At the same time, rationally arrange the production process, optimize the production layout, and reduce the waiting time and logistics costs in the production process.
Optimize the process route: evaluate and optimize the processing technology such as stamping, polishing, electroplating, coloring, etc., remove unnecessary process links or simplify process steps. For example, if the surface requirements of the badge are not particularly high, the fine degree of polishing can be appropriately reduced, or some more efficient and low-cost surface treatment methods can be used.
Outsourcing part of the process: For some non-core processing processes, or the enterprise’s own processing costs are higher, you can consider outsourcing to professional processing manufacturers. These manufacturers may be able to complete these processes at a lower cost due to economies of scale or expertise.
Management aspect
Precise production planning: Do market research and demand forecasting, make accurate production plans, and avoid cost increases caused by too much or too little production. Too much production will cause inventory overhang, occupy capital and storage space; Too little production may require additional production arrangements, increasing production costs.
Reduce inventory costs: Optimize inventory management and reasonably control the inventory levels of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. The use of advanced inventory management system, real-time monitoring of inventory dynamics, timely procurement and replenishment of raw materials, to avoid inventory shortage or backlog.
Cost accounting and control: Establish a sound cost accounting system, cost accounting and analysis of every link in the badge production process, and find out the key points of cost control and potential saving space. Evaluate and audit costs regularly to identify and correct cost overruns in a timely manner.
