In the field of precision manufacturing, time is efficiency, and customers are extremely concerned about the delivery cycle of granite components. So, how soon can the granite components be delivered? This is due to a combination of factors.
1. Order size and complexity
Small simple order: If the order only involves a small number of conventional specifications of granite plates, such as within 10 pieces, the size of the common 500mm×500mm×50mm, and the processing requirements are not high, only a simple cutting, grinding to ordinary accuracy (flatness ±0.05mm), in the case of sufficient factory equipment, personnel and no other emergency order conflict, From the receipt of the order, raw material preparation may be completed within 1-2 days, cutting processing 1-2 days, grinding 2-3 days, plus quality inspection and packaging 1 day, the fastest 5-8 days can be delivered.
Large complex order: if the order is a large granite machine tool base, the size is several meters, and there is a complex structural design, such as the internal need to hollow out weight reduction, the surface has a high-precision rail mounting surface (flatness ±0.005mm, straightness ±0.002mm/m), the production cycle will be greatly extended. Raw material procurement may take 3-5 days, cutting processing due to large size, high precision, need 4-6 days, rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing and other processes may take 10-15 days, during the period there are multiple rounds of quality inspection and correction, coupled with packaging, transportation arrangements, the fastest also need 20-30 days to deliver.
2. Factory production capacity and resource allocation
Advanced level and quantity of equipment: factories with many advanced CNC processing equipment, such as high-precision CNC cutting machines, five-axis linkage grinding machines, etc., are more efficient in cutting and grinding processes. Taking CNC cutting machine as an example, the cutting speed of advanced equipment is 30%-50% faster than that of ordinary equipment, which can effectively shorten the processing time. If the number of factory equipment is sufficient, multiple orders can be processed at the same time to further improve the overall production efficiency. For example, a large granite component factory, equipped with 10 CNC cutting machines and 20 grinding machines, compared with only 5 cutting equipment and 10 grinding equipment factory, under the same order size, the delivery cycle may be shortened by 3-5 days.
Personnel technical level and scheduling system: Experienced and skilled workers operate equipment more efficiently and accurately, reducing scrap rate and rework time. For example, when skilled workers perform grinding operations, the required accuracy can be reached faster, and the efficiency is 2-3 times higher than that of novice workers. At the same time, a reasonable scheduling system is also key, the use of three shifts 24 hours uninterrupted production mode of the factory, compared with the single-shift factory, the theoretical production time increased by two times, in the case of emergency orders, the delivery cycle can be greatly shortened. Suppose a factory receives an urgent order and shortens the production cycle from 15 days to 8 days by working three shifts.
Third, raw material supply
Conventional material inventory: If the factory has sufficient inventory of commonly used specifications and varieties of granite raw materials, it can be immediately put into production to save procurement waiting time. Such as the commonly used Jinan green granite, if the factory inventory has 500 cubic meters, when receiving an ordinary order, there is no need to wait for procurement, you can directly start processing, compared with the need to purchase raw materials factories, can shorten the delivery time of 2-3 days.
Special materials procurement cycle: If the order requires special varieties or specifications of granite, such as rare granite imported from abroad, the procurement cycle may be as long as 10-15 days, which will significantly extend the entire delivery cycle. Even if the factory production process is very efficient, it needs to wait for raw materials to be in place before production can begin. For example, a project needs a specific color and texture of imported granite, from the purchase of the order to the material delivery to the factory takes 12 days, plus the subsequent 10 days of processing time, the entire delivery cycle of 22 days.
In summary, the fastest delivery cycle of granite components is 5-8 days, long may exceed 30 days, need to consider the characteristics of the order, factory capacity and raw material supply and other factors.
Case product example diagram is as follows:
In our factory, this product will take about 20 days to complete.
