SMALL LOT SIZES, LOW TOTAL COST, SHORT LEAD TIME AND BETTER PART QUALITY ARE SOME OF THE FREQUENT CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS FOR FINISHING COMPONENTS. THESE REQUIREMENTS CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY MET BY OPTIMIZED DEVELOPMENT OF CNC GRINDING SYSTEMS, WHILE UTILIZING LOW-COST SIMPLE SOLID SHAPED RAW MATERIALS. THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THIS STRATEGY ARE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN LEAD-TIME AND SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN IN-PROCESS INVENTORY COSTS. ALSO, THIS STRATEGY HELPS TO IMPROVE THE YIELD IN PREVIOUS PROCESSING STEPS, SUCH AS HEAT TREATMENT OR SINTERING.
