From a Manufacturing Problem to an Automation Roadmap That Can Be Implemented

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. <\/p>

Our goal is not to produce the most comprehensive concept paper. Our goal is a robust implementation plan with clear priorities. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1. Project Launch and Definition of Objectives<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>

  1. Clear Project Goals<\/li>
  2. Definition of the manufacturing areas under consideration<\/li>
  3. Designation of Contact Persons<\/li>
  4. Distinguishing Between Immediate Actions and Strategic Issues<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    2. Analysis of Manufacturing Reality<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    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.<\/p>

    • Identifying Bottlenecks and Media Breaks<\/li>
    • Evaluate Setup and Non-Productive Times<\/li>
    • Check for automation capability<\/li>
    • Identifying Process Risks<\/li>
    • Prioritize opportunities based on benefits and effort<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      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. <\/p>

      • Technical Feasibility<\/li>
      • Economic Assessment<\/li>
      • Prioritization Based on Benefit, Risk, and Effort<\/li>
      • Recommendations for suitable partners and technologies<\/li>
      • Definition of Specific Implementation Steps<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        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. <\/p>
