Team Up To Help Power Ford's New F-150,
(Manufacturing Engineering, May
2004)
When engineers at Spartan Light Metal Products (Mexico, MO) were preparing a bid to design and manufacture cam covers used in 5.4-L V-8 engines for Ford's new F-150 pickup truck, expected part volumes and cycle times were the key concerns.
Developing a flexible, robust system to meet both current and future production and cost demands was also important according to Director of Materials and Customer Service John Hunkins.
