FP McCann provides the following product categories: ready mix concrete, quarry stone and aggregates, building products, precast concrete walling, agricultural and drainage products and surfacing products. By applying the DfMA principles, FP McCann’s design engineers are able to evaluate individual precast concrete products part by part, in addition to documenting the assembly process step by step. This allows them to generate the cost, part count and assembly time to provide a benchmark to measure its success and identify the parts and process improvement opportunities. In turn, this has allowed FP McCann to design and manufacture more cost-effective and efficient high-quality precast concrete products with less wastage and greater on-site recycling. As a result, increased productivity, combined with a reduction in production time and costs, allows FP McCann to be more competitive within the marketplace.
