CPC Saving Program

A measurable program to reduce cost-per-component without risking quality or schedule. Sigma’s CPC Saving Program finds the biggest cost drains in your machining process, proves improvements with controlled trials, and locks them in with standard work. It’s not “ideas”. It’s verified savings that sustain.

Why Sigma

  • Savings focused on verified CPC, not theoretical “improvements”
  • Baseline-first approach with transparent before/after proof
  • Tool life + cycle time balanced to protect quality and throughput
  • Step-reduction and modern strategies proven on shop floors
  • One team owning trials, documentation, and standardisation
  • Root-cause view on abnormal consumption and rework drivers
  • KPI cadence your team can actually run weekly
  • Sustainment built-in: SOPs, parameter windows, control plan

Where Sigma Fits In

CPC Targets Have Tightened for an Existing Part?

Sigma builds a savings roadmap, proves improvements with controlled trials, and locks in standard work so cost reduction sustains beyond the first month.

Production is Stable but Costs Are Creeping Up?

Sigma identifies hidden CPC leaks: tool-life variance, micro-stoppages, rework, and unnecessary tool changes—then removes them systematically.

Reduce CPC Without Breaking the Process

Sigma improves cost by strengthening the process, not by cutting corners. You’ll see real results where it matters: lower tool consumption, shorter cycle time, reduced rework, and higher throughput—tracked through simple KPIs and sustained by updated standards.

CPC Baseline & Loss Map

Scope: Cycle time, tool consumption, downtime, scrap/rework, changeovers.

Deliverables: CPC baseline sheet, top loss drivers, Pareto.

Opportunity Identification & Prioritisation

Scope: Tooling, strategy, step reduction, coolant optimisation, standardisation.

Deliverables: savings funnel, impact vs effort matrix, 30/60/90 plan.

Trial Design & Validation Plan

Scope: Controlled trials with quality + takt protected.

Deliverables: trial sheets, measurement plan, risk controls.

Tool Life & Parameter Window Optimisation

Scope: Rough/finish windows, insert strategy, stability tuning.

Deliverables: locked parameter windows, tool-life target uplift, breakage reduction plan.

Step Reduction & Cycle-Time Compression

Scope: Combine operations, reduce tool changes, improve approach paths.

Deliverables: revised op-sequence, updated tool list, cycle-time delta proof.

Standardisation & Sustainment

Scope: SOP updates, training, audit checks, governance cadence.

Deliverables: updated work instructions, training notes, monthly KPI tracker.
