Introduction
A leading manufacturer in Germany and throughout the world of pump systems required external assistance in developing a totally new approach to saving energy in heating systems in building services engineering because the size of the project meant it couldn't be managed in-house. The work was to focus on developing an electronic feedback control and single-loop control system.
Since the project required considerable extra management capacities to control and monitor the development processes, the customer decided to bring onboard the know-how of IndustrieHansa experts.
Solution: Overall optimization of development processes in electronics development and quality assurance, including reorganizing the content of work and implementing binding standards.
Puncture points
- Recording of processes in development and quality assurance
- Establishment of potential for reducing the resources needed
- Analysis of processes into value-adding and non-value-adding activities
- Reorganization of work content and job descriptions
- Implementation of binding standards (work schedules, info boards, fault reports etc.)
- Moderation of workshops
- Carrying out EMC studies
- Implementation of a CIP system
Benefits
During the "Project control for electronics development" project, processes were streamlined and the groundwork therefore laid for a faster time-to-market for new products. The project also improved quality and established a standard in quality assurance which will ensure a high level of quality in the future beyond this project.
