The mounting frames are a component of the loader for the John Deere tractors that support front attachments like the shovel. Currently this component is made from metal plate and welding. Questum participated with the John Deere engineering team to convert this component to cast iron made, in order to improve manufacturing costs.
Benefits
Quality
Design improvement for its adaptation to other models and markets of loaders.
Costs
Costs reduction due to design improvements of the new Mounting Frames model.
Efficiency
Open up manufacturing capabilities on John Deere’s factory floor due to the elimination of current workstations by the purchase of the component instead of producing it.
