Customer Challenge
A Tier One atuto supplier neede to develop a new, 20-part assembly withing a seven-week window. Parts to needed to begin the PPAP process at the seventh week. The program required the fastest path available to get products launched quicker than previous programs, and with a total savings in the overall budget. The program had extremely high visibility for both the supplier and the their customer, the OE auto manufacturer. Dimensional component integrity was also a critical factor  
PTI Solution  
Through the use of our P3 process (PTI Production Prototype),we provided the customer with a prototype from the final-intent production tool, which allowed them to realize a saving to their overall program cost. By building one mold for prototyping, debug, product validation,PPAP, and manufacture of 90,000 pieces, this process saved the customer mire than $300,000 compared to traditional processes that were not required based on the low-volume nature of this component.
