S12: Strengthening Die Maintenance Programs

Die maintenance and die repair are not the same. Nonetheless, many stamping companies combine the cost of die maintenance with the cost die repair to simplify reporting. This presentation examines the difference between repair and maintenance and the hidden costs within each. Attendees will learn to distinguish between the cost of maintenance and the cost of repair—and to measure and report each properly—in order to cost-justify a robust die maintenance program that reduces the cost of die repair
