        Comment:

        The reduction of the defective rate in the flute grinding process is key, due to this part of the manufacturing chain being the one with the higher proportion of scrapped parts. The time working on the reworking of the parts or the manufacturing of new, “extra” ones, inside a certain batch, multiplied by the hourly cost of the machines would be the numerical estimation of the saved energy, which, of course, is proportional to CO2 emissions. However, the flute grinding process is not the process with the most energy consumption, but it is, by far, the heat treatment (which is located upstream and, thus, the reduction of the defective in this particular process where the NECO pilot focuses would also impact on the energy saving of the machines and processes that come before).

        Material efficiency
        Comment:

        The solution provided byZ-Fact0r reduces the number of scrapped parts at different steps of the production process. The use of just the needed amount of raw materials is thus a consequence of applying Z-Fact0r, but it has manifold repercussions, as there is reduction of wear of equipment and tools by doing it right the first time. It also eliminates the duplication of auxiliary materials needed to produce the parts.

        The Z-Fact0r platform, and the intensive monitoring of both product and process that accompanies it, has been key for the reduction of defective manufactured parts at the flute grinding process. Should similar solutions be implemented in the rest of machines at NECO premises with a defective rate reduction of around 25%, some 20.000€ could be saved by NECO yearly in the form of raw materials (outside-diameter-grinded High Speed Steel bars), which would instead require to be recycled. Furthermore, if the cutting angle happens to be wrong, the parts cannot be remanufactured and need to be scrapped.

    Comment: Repair, renovation or re-use techniques are focused on environmental sustainability and the reduction of new resources.
      Towards circular economy
      Comment: New Service-Oriented Business Models are supported by lifecycle extension of the products with reduced Total Cost of Ownership as the basis for long-term relationships with the customers. Stable and continuous cash flows from customers will guarantee economic sustainability.
        Material efficiency
        Comment: New maintenance strategies to minimize maintenance costs, like optimised preventive (PM) or predictive maintenance (PdM), are aimed to optimise the exploitation of the Product-Service Systems.
