Three parts became one.
A cable gland arriving as body, nut and seal — three tools, three inspections, an assembly cell and a scrap rate nobody wanted to talk about.
A DFM pass merged the sealing petals into the body and moved the thread into the cavity. One tool, one shot, one part number.
Assembly cell removed. Cost per unit fell with it, and the part now ships to two EU distributors on a rolling forecast.
