Proactive Partnership®

Two Guys Shaking Hands
Designed to Improve Your Operations
Reducing manufacturing costs…improving product quality…minimizing material waste…these are critical objectives at almost every manufacturing facility today. Scot Forge's Proactive Partnership® is designed to help you achieve these goals.

The Proactive Partnership® Program
Proactive Partnership® is a unique program designed to discover ways for producing high quality products less expensively using the forging process. (For successful examples see our Case Studies.) Led by an experienced Scot Forge metallurgist, the program puts the knowledge of our forging experts to work in your plant, helping you to achieve long term cost reductions and improved lead times through:
  • Optimizing your manufacturing practices
  • Acquiring near net shape parts not previously available
  • Customizing materials for your application
  • Achieving component reduction
  • Improving part quality and metal integrity
  • Eliminating unnecessary processing
  • Designing parts to take advantage of forging as a superior replacement to alternate metalworking processes
What Proactive Partnership® Will Do For You

Proactive DocumentsStep 1 - Goals Assessment
First, we'll sit down with you to discuss improvements you would like to see in your plant, talk about any areas of concern, prioritize your goals, and establish a plan of action.

Step 2 - Operation Evaluation
During this step, we'll spend a day in your plant, meet with your team, and observe your operation. We'll identify projects or methods that could benefit from Proactive Partnership®. Then we'll conduct a detailed review of your products and processes based on samples, prints, and observations gained during our visit. All information will be kept strictly proprietary.

Step 3 - Analysis and Documentation
After we review your process, we will provide a complete written analysis. The analysis will include thorough documentation of your current practices, and provide possible forging solutions for increasing your operational efficiency and reducing your costs.

Forging Partnerships That Last
Once you partner with Scot Forge, we will continue to provide consultation long after our initial analysis of your operation. We have over 100 years of forging manufacturing experience, which we can put to work at your plant. Call us with questions at any time - you can count on us for ongoing support.
