Turning shafts became a problem for Baldor Electric Company (Ozark, Arkansas) as they watched their production mix flip-flop from about 80% standard shafts and 20% specialty shafts to today’s 80% “specials” / 20% standard mix on some turning machines. This high demand for specialty shafts caused several problems for Baldor’s production team: including shorter production runs, more changeovers, lost production time, runout quality issues and holding other tolerances on the more critical shafts.
