Rapid Response:Due to late delivery from a Chinese supplier, a plastic injection molding company was faced with shutting down a Toyota SUV production line within 1 week of contacting Federal.  The Toyota seating division, in need of the parts, contacted Federal for immediate help.  Within four days Federal designed and built a combination of hard and soft tooling, acquired raw material, ran production, and delivered product.  The parts were dimensionally superior to the Chinese competitor's and assured Toyota that their line would not be shut down.

Engineering Support:Faced with assemblies not capable of meeting"load" requirements, a prominent manufacturer of law enforcement hand-cuffs, turned to Federal for assistance.  A Federal engineer calculated design and physical characteristics to improve load capability from a negative 10% factor to an ability of the cuffs to withstand a load more than double the requirement.

Continual Improvement: In an environment of increasing raw material prices it is difficult to generate meaningful cost savings.  In support of a leading manufacturer of decorative plumbing fixtures, Federal analyzed multiple operation production tooling and reduced operations from five independent steps down to three.  The result generated nearly a 10% cost savings a a payback on tool modifications of 7 months.
