Process planning

Growing customer requirements, innovative product developments, optimized assembly processes, and just-in-time deliveries demand a huge amount of coordination and cost pressure for businesses.

We can plan your processes throughout the entire product development process with respect to quality, costs, and the all-important time factor. We employ clear standardization, structuring and synchronization of complex production processes to guarantee the necessary process reliability. This opens up new scope for increasing efficiency and profitability and minimizes rework and warranty costs - regardless of whether the processes in question are manual or automated.

We develop new assembly concepts using the following process:

  • Production of quantity structures
  • Definition of assembly sequence
  • Initial definition of assembly times
  • Development and procurement of gauges and aids
  • Procurement of plants and special production resources
  • Localization of installation site within the plant


In the early phase we verify these assembly concepts:

  • Virtual validation of assembly concepts
  • Hardware-based validation of assembly concepts
  • Qualitative and economic evaluation of alternative solutions
  • Product manipulation to achieve assembly-friendly design
  • Coordination of installation space issues with adjacent process planners
  • Coordination with quality, method and ergonomics considerations

 

During implementation of the assembly concept in the plant, we perform the following tasks:

  • Layout and supply planning
  • Plant commissioning
  • Planned time analyses based on standard data
  • Production of work instructions
  • Design of workstations in accordance with production system principles
  • Implementation of part installation checks – variant management
  • Reduction of rework and warranty costs through high process quality
  • Optimization of processes in series production
  • Adaptation of processes in the event of model revisions


As a process partner to renowned industrial companies, we have an in-depth understanding of assembly process planning. We can support you throughout the entire process from planning and implementation to optimization.
