Engineers spearhead Bloxwich transformation

Abstract

Examines the transformation in image, manufacturing, and profitability of a UK automotive supplier, through the adoption of an advanced manufacturing facility. Discusses the use of Japanese techniques, a CAD facility, simulation, and computer controlled machines. Surmises that while the company is proud of its achievement, it is still suffering from the burden of interest rates that suppliers in other countries are free of.
