LTA Programs - Murdock Facility
MFCO’s new Murdock plant has been designed and engineered using lean concepts and a cellular approach to processing. This concept has virtually eliminated costly queue time enabling MFCO to offer time efficient processing at very competitive costs. This proposal would allow Spirit to more cost effectively utilize its large tank capacity for processing larger parts in house, eliminating the need to off load larger more complicated, expensive parts for processing. Cost saving could be realized in more efficient use of tank sizes, freight cost and minimizing damage due to handling of larger parts.
Processing would include
• Penetrant Inspection
• Boric/Sulfuric Anodize
• Chemical Conversion
• Prime (common primers)
The Objective: Cost savings by the creation of LTA with Customers on Aluminum parts that fall within a 36” X 36” size range.
Contract Previsions
1. Guaranteed 72 hour turn, with unit price penalty clause. Current published turn 7 days.
2. No expedite fee or unit price premium added for the 72 hour turn. (Order Entry to Certification)
3. Incorporate RFID tracking linked between Customer and MFCO.
4. Rules based messaging provided.
5. Electronic data transfer.
6. Set pricing with no escalation clause for set number of years.
