Today’s global economy dictates that all different aspects of manufacturing are closely monitored not only to produce high quality parts, but a process is used which produce superior mechanical and metallurgical properties at a lower manufacturing will cost. The old concept of “don’t fix unless it is broke” is no longer valid today. This paper will identify different steps to justify a process change. Cost justification and manufacturing characteristics will be cited for two product changes.
