The Manufacturing Alliance helps metalworking companies identify untapped productivity potential and implement realistic improvement measures. We look not only at individual machines or software solutions, but at the entire manufacturing process: planning, data, tools, clamping technology, machines, automation, quality, and material flow.
Our goal is not to produce the most comprehensive concept paper. Our goal is a robust implementation plan with clear priorities.
To begin with, we work together to identify where the greatest need for action lies: setup times, machine uptime, delivery capability, quality, data flow, reliance on personnel, degree of automation, or process stability.
We examine the current situation wherever productivity is gained or lost: in work planning, at the machine, during setup, in clamping technology, with tools, in measurement technology, in automation, and in production control.
The analysis results in a realistic action plan. We assess which steps will yield results in the short term, which investments need to be planned, and which partners are best suited for implementation.
The Manufacturing Alliance supports projects not only through the presentation of an idea, but all the way through to its practical implementation. This includes clear milestones, defined responsibilities, and regular evaluation of the improvements achieved.
ERP, MES, MDE, production planning, feedback, OEE, master data, and transparency.
Pallet handling, robots, cell control, unmanned operation time, material flow, and machine availability.
The Manufacturing Alliance combines consulting, technological expertise, and real-world manufacturing experience. Many consulting projects end with a presentation. We go a step further: We develop actionable measures, bring in suitable technology partners, and focus on what actually works in day-to-day manufacturing.
