Methods department – responsible for the overall process
The methods department checks the feasibility of your forging projects. It pays particular attention to :
- The dimensions and tolerances specified on your drawings
- The raw materials (suitability for forging, ease of supply, quality, etc.)
- Standards (forging, raw material, final appearance of parts, testing and checking)
- The specifications and requirements for your parts
Following a full analysis, the Methods Department determines the manufacturing process for each of your parts.
It defines the appropriate production facilities, and details the subcontracted operations and the tests to be carried out during and after production.
Series production is always preceded by forging trials to validate the process defined by the process planners. Their specialist experience and their constant interaction with all the other teams in the company ensure that the production processes are optimised.

FORGINAL industrie
I like being able to track all the parts we make at FORGINAL industrie. The methods department is always involved from the very start of projects: we establish the technical rules so that the part is produced in accordance with best practices, both now and in the future. We have to have a good knowledge of the inner workings of the company and we work closely with all the company's departments.
