Manufacturer of agricultural tractors
Case Study
THE PROBLEM:
In 2007 an agricultural tractor manufacturer faced the crisis of a large oil
leak. Thousands of gallons of coolant would have been wasted due to the shut down of their
system to repair the leak. The manufacturer could not afford to shut down the machines or
their plant — and needed a solution fast!
THE HARRIGAN SOLUTION
Understanding the manufacturer’s time crunch, budget and overall process problem,
Harrigan Solutions immediately came to the rescue by recommending a centrifuge to
mitigate the machine problem.
RESULTS
Within 48 hours Harrigan Solutions saved the manufacturer from shutting down their
five-cell machining center and allowed this bottleneck operation to continue functioning.
This enabled the tractor assembly plant to continue production until the maintenance team
was allowed to fix the problem. The client saved over six figures in revenue shortfall by
fixing the leak without a shutdown.
