West Plant Operations
Manufacturing III is an isolated sanitization area for coating processes. Products are cleaned, prepared, and either aluminized or hard-coated. Aluminization provides a reflective coating to components such as reflectors and extensions. This process allows a plastic-molded part to reflect the light at the designed angles. Lenses are hard-coated to protect against chips and cracks.
Manufacturing IV, the focus of the upcoming make-or-buy decision, molds parts for finished assembly and sales. Lenses, reflectors, and housings are molded from resins and fiberglass-reinforced plastics. Die injection molding machines range from 60 to 900 tons of pressure. These machines are adaptable to produce multiple parts by interchanging the die molds. Firebird Electric has recently acquired the two largest molding machines in the world. The productivity of these machines will aid in the upcoming decision regarding further expansion. Firebird is reducing inventory in the West plant Material Order Center (WESTMOC) to possibly expand operations by three machines.
Firebird Electric manufactures halogen bulbs for in-house production and external sales. The halogen bulb (HB) department is capable of producing 60,000 bulbs per week. HB runs a continuous three-shift operation until weekly production quotas are met.
