Consequently, even a small improvement in yield production can have a financially significant impact.Case StudyCompany A was experiencing poorly joined capsules on their intermittent motion capsule-filling machine for one of its products.

Internal inspections of the problem caused loss of production time and consistently low yield.

The adjustment resolved the issue.

As a result, production downtime due to internal inspection was eliminated, yield was improved by more than 8%, and the company saved $94,000 annually for production of this one product.2.Increasing Speed to Increase ProfitIn a study conducted by Aipak, a not-so-obvious conclusion was discovered: the total cost/savings return associated with increased machine speed is higher than that for yield increase.

Yield losses and their financial impact have routinely been a focus of manufacturing teams.

Maximizing available capacity enables growth without additional capital expenditure on equipment.3.Reducing Downtime Increase ProfitabilityAggregate data collected by Aipak shows that reduced downtime leads to substantive savings.
