Cost Reduction Examples
CASE1 Reduced waste oil and waste solution
Customer Concerns
Company A (automobile part manufacturer)
- To reduce the amount of industrial waste product to
treat and its treatment costs - (1) To reduce the costs for treating compressor drain
waste solution
(2) To be able directly to drain waste solution from the
drain
Present state
Drain waste solution was collected in a pale, and then switched to a drum.
This was then outsourced to a treatment specialist for treatment.
- Company A compressor equipment Annual waste-solution treatment costs
- 15 kw: (0.2 L/h × 20 h) x 6 units = 24 L
- 22 kw: (4 L/h × 20 h) x 2 units = 160 L
- 37 kw: (5 L/h × 8 h) x 2 units = 80 L
- Monthly discharge amount: 264 L x 22 days = 5,808 L
- Monthly treatment costs: 5,800 L x ¥47 = ¥272,600
- Annual treatment costs: 58,000 L x ¥47 = ¥2,726,000
Our proposal
Reduce treatment costs 1/10 by using a new
waste-solution treatment system
Proposed use of a new treatment system that is lightweight, compact and does
not use electricity.
Collects floating oil within the system so it can be directly discharged.
Drain waste solution treatment costs can be lowered to 1/10 of existing
expenditures.
