2 Overview The PRISM Way Facilities Technology Process Success Stories Wrap-up

3 The PRISM Way Works! Our Philosophy Lowest overall cost model = highest level of customer satisfaction Investment in, and full utilization of, technology Tight tolerance, precision components Environmentally responsible Organizationally flat and lean Financially stable

4 Facilities Chesterfield, MI - Port Huron, MI - Harlingen, TX Equipment and processes are uniform and interchangeable Small, tightly controlled manufacturing environments Highly automated Climate controlled

5 Facilities Customer focused Modular, Reproducible and geographically flexible Centralized administrative support to maximize manufacturing focus Clean, bright, safe

6 Machinery and Equipment invest in application-specific technology 35 All Electric Toshiba injection molding machines (65T 390T) High pressure injection units maximum velocity for optimum fill Small barrel size reduced residency time for engineered resins State-of-the-art machine controls Yushin five-axis robots Quick change, part specific end-of-arm tooling Low RPM screenless grinders

7 Closed Loop Manufacturing Cells Automated machine side material handling Process consistency Reject containment on nine process variables Process monitoring Robotic start-up containment Tool preservation / tool damage protection

8 Tool Engineering Advanced Logic Shrink Analysis Beaumont Technologies Melt Flipper Runner Optimization Mold Build Standards CT Scanning Technology

9 Shrink Analysis

10 Beaumont Technologies Increased cavitation Shear / balance Melt flipper

11 Runner Optimization Minimization = Reduced Scrap Elimination = Hot valve gate Reduction = Process Variation

12 Mold Build Standards Geared towards precision product Highly inserted cavities and cores Results in quicker time to market Minimizes downtime Detailed product specific lessons learned section

13 CT Scanning Part to Part Comparison Part to CAD Comparison Void Inclusion Analysis Wall Thickness Analysis GeoMagic

14 Integrated Information Technology ERP / IQMS Quoting/Forecasting B.O.M. Inventory control Production scheduling RealTime production monitoring Shipping / Receiving Accounting Quality Project Management Preventative Maintenance Paperless Systems / Visibility / Accuracy / Immediacy

15 Environmentally Responsible Closed loop chillers High efficiency lab quality lighting Enclosed climate stabilized manufacturing Variable speed air compressors Falcon high efficiency thermal barrels Hot runner molding

16 Philosophy: Controlled Processes = Process Control All Disciplines From initial quote through accounts receivable, and everything in between Best Practices Implemented All processes All facilities Elimination of Waste and Variation
