Introduction
When implementing a production system in an existing production plant, an OEM from southern Germany was pursuing the objective of long-term process optimization.
The project's managers chose to use IndustrieHansa to overcome this challenge as they wanted experienced and expert know-how.
Solution: Standardization of processes as part of implementing the manufacturer's production system in conjunction with a fundamental redesign and optimization of the existing engine assembly.
Puncture points
- Survey and analysis of all manual and automatic actual processes
- Target/performance comparison
- Organizing workshops with process partners in order to identify potential
- Re-orientation of assembly following the principles of the production system
- Production of assembly layouts
- Planning and procurement of systems and special equipment
- Optimization up to workplace level using MTM time studies and analyses of ergonomics
Benefits
The customer stands to benefit from sustainable process optimization through more efficient, more flexible and lower-cost processes, avoidance of material stock levels and reduction in complexity (low-cost automation) through standardization. The stringent alignment of all processes to value-added means a considerable cost saving in all the departments involved.
