These are results from production work — not rounded up into a sales story, and not borrowed from anyone else's shop. Operations are anonymized: outcomes only, no company names, no product details, no proprietary parameters.
A single focused week of Kaizen work on a production process — small changes, found on the floor, measured against how the work ran before.
Saved a month of operator time annually — the improvements in that one week added up to roughly a month of one operator's working time, every year, from then on.
A fabric and textile cutting operation. Production cutting files were reworked — toolpaths, sequencing, and cutting parameters — and the results were measured file by file.
About 20 production cutting files were reworked in total. The figures below come from the 10 paired fabric files — the same file measured before the change and after it. The other files were reworked without a paired measurement, so no numbers are claimed for them.
On the 10 paired files, each run now uses 7 to 91 centimeters less material than the same file used before — about 43 centimeters less per run on average.
The price of one fabric in those files. At that price, the two biggest file savings alone are worth $34.82 and $36.13 every time they run.
One file type's cutting speed, more than doubled. Stated as feed rate, because that is what was measured — feed rate is not cycle time, and no cycle-time or throughput figure is claimed from it.
Scrap reduction across the board after the same round of changes.
Every number here compares the same work before a change and after it — the same file, the same material, the same kind of run. Savings are stated per run, because that is the unit that was measured.
These results come from one operation's production work. They show what this kind of work finds and what it can be worth — they are not a promise about your floor. Your materials, volumes, and workflow decide what your shop saves. That's why every engagement starts with a diagnostic measured on your own floor, in your own numbers.
