Current situation

Morelli Import-Export - Romania

MMR visit again this supplier to make a detailed evaluation of processes and the cost analyze.
The time for casting for one cast is 61 sec included manual deburring for side burrs and
preparing the mold, next step is storage for trimming, there the casting pieces are cooled in air
for 45 min until the lot is manual moves, not robotic moves, to trimming machine. The time for
trimming for two casting pieces is 31 sec, first step after trimming is visual inspection pasts, next
step is cleaning tool, next step is the positioning and fixing casting parts and for last step is
trimming, and then the parts are visual inspecting and recycles the excess material. Next step is
moving lot parts to blasting tool, hear is wait until the blasting tool is released, then the lot parts
are transported to bench for manual trimming and visual inspection, it takes about 25 sec per
pieces. The good point of supplier is the large amount of delivery and quality for Gears Housings
for us. Not good point is the equipment because the cooling is done outdoors and not in water
as needed to make. Not good point is the cast pieces is cooling in air once that out, then that lot
of pieces waiting for trimming, after trimming are stored for blasting. But the blasting for Gears
Housings is rarely because the trimming is moving very low.

Conclusions/ Suggestions

Morelli Import-Export We visit Morelli Import-Export becouse he need 4 pieses cooling in air, 4
pieses cooling in water and 2 pieses cooling in air after blasting.
Mr. C.Alexandru will testing the pieces becouse he wants to see machinability and the wear
knives for each sample.
