Created by Gary Zunker, and only available through Lightning Time Savers, The QDC Blitz is a groundbreaking method designed to give your QDC team it's first Success Story. Since 1997 Gary Zunker has been helping press-stampers and molding manufacturers reduce changeovers by fifty-percent without spending capital dollars. December 2000 Metal Forming Magazine article written by Brad Kuvin, summed it up this way:

"The QDC team attends an eight-hour training program, where Zunker presents basic QDC principles. THen the team steers its attention to the die-change videotape from thier plant where Zunker breaks it down into pockets of tiem, allowing the team to suggest wyuays to rwduce thelength of each step.

Says Brad Graham, Electrolux Pressroom Manager, "Bringing a sence of urgency to he pressroom meant keeping the presses up and running as much as possible, and die changeover was the main reason that our presses would sit idle. By reducing the time to change dies, mainly by changing procedures and with little investment in new equipment, we've reduced the time spent from last good part to first good part by more than 50 percent. As a result, we've set a whole new standard for utilization based on oa new understandig of how much capacity we have with our dies."
