Success Stories: Ford

• Challenge: Identify opportunities to reduce cycle time for face milling operation
• Approach: Run simulations to discover opportunities for improved tool utilization
• Software: AdvantEdge Production Module 2D
• Results: Cycle time reduction of more than 5 seconds per part on high volume production; original tool path maintained
