Cost Per Part Program
Cost per Part (CPP) is a tailored program designed to manage tooling, increase efficiency, and track outcomes.
Through NOVOsphere, Kennametal has available the latest in tool management software. We use this advanced software onsite with our CPP customers to manage ToolBOSS units and supply chain, presetting interface, and CNC programming. This is used together with the latest in tool performance dashboards.
We partner with you for long-term savings. To start, every step of the production process is analyzed to create a starting baseline. Then onsite tooling personnel provided by Kennametal go to work within your shop to identify poor performing tooling and replace them with better technology. Improvements are tested, tracked, and reported.
