Indian Foundry, Progressing towards world class infrastructure Meeting global standards of quality Increased share in global supply chain of OEM Problems facing by Indian Foundry - Labor dependence ( Manual work) - Lack of trained manpower - Inflation in raw material prices and scarcity of good quality raw material Introduction of Foundry and Casting

Proper Planning Drawing clarity with machining allowance and rev no. Good pattern equipment as per foundry requirement Involvement of foundry, pattern maker and OEM for methoding Provide best possible support to foundry for job development Effective communication channel to address issues fast Work collectively. Consider rejection as National Loss. Support and Expectation by Supplier from OEM

Make quality and aesthetic improvement as common objective with foundry Define your quality and aesthetic needs - Grade and metallurgy requirements - Casting soundness requirement as per your required std. Keep a track of developments in related fields, update knowledge base Train OEM team on foundry practice and methodology Review defects jointly with casting supplier monthly or quarterly Steps to raise Quality and Aesthetics to Global Standard

Avoid emergency (delay in execution or improper inventory planning) Give suitable job to foundry as per their expertise and infrastructure Identify foundry by foundry process, capacity and expertise Categories your casting need and select suitable foundry Invest in good quality pattern Ideas on Providing consistent Quality, Delivery & Cost

Machine manufacturer should give fundamental idea of machine operation to casting supplier, where their casting is going to be used OEM should also share their experience of casting problems Prepare list of requirements with graphical presentation to convey it to foundry man Ask supplier to confirm minimum quality requirements prior to dispatch. Give and share first article report to foundry - Dimension deviation - Machining allowances etc to avoid rejection in future Put efforts to make “Made in India” Brand more meaningful and successful Good Practices from other INDUSTRIES
