'Lean Solutions for the Entire Value Stream...' |
|
|
For manufacturing processes mainly work instructions, materials, tools, resources and order information are needed, and this is what CellFusion applications provide, fast and optimized, with state of the art application suites. However, lean manufacturing extends to the entire process chain from customer and manufacturing to supplier integration and all engineering and planning processes. It includes the entire Value Stream. |

Turning design and product innovation extremely fast into stable, streamlined and accelerated manufacturing operations, the secret of lean management begins in 'Manufacturing Engineering and Lean Assembly Line Design'. Engineers are able to create detailed work sequences and instructions faster, more efficiently, and they are able to prepare for change management as well as optimized line logistics planning, just as a by-product of their work, simple, fast, comprehensive. Change Impact very often caused issues in material availability and sub-sequent down times and productivity losses. This is why early change impact identification has been one of CellFusion's most important development areas. Change impact is visible in several business applications in order to avoid material shortages and potentially being unprepared for change, avoiding line stops and down times. Keeping performance at one-hundred percent. |

Component and process matrix as well as change over matrix provide the comprehensive analysis engineers like to optimize material usage in products and develop platform strategies. Personnel required in all process chains, from administration to logistics and manufacturing can be planned with application suite 'Flexible Workforce Management'. Workplace flexibility, qualifications and shift planning are only some of the supporting features.
Due to the application
suite 'Visual Manufacturing Operations' and its interactive and pro-active applications shop floor operations are turned into a powerful information source,
providing on-line information to management and responsible, cutting
operating costs drastically. Besides this results are significantly higher assembly accuracy, reduced rework, higher productivity and efficiency. Material and product quality increases based on systematic optimization and applying
'Zero Defect' concepts fast and directly at shop floor operations, the place
value is added to products. Full traceability of all product and process information provides a tool set enabling quality teams to reduce the impact of any quality issues like no other system. If you would like to oversee current performance, quality, issues, actual product metrics, line logistics, tracking information, personnel, and much more at your fingertips, you may want to take a closer look at Value Stream Portals, giving you everything you need to know, now - real-time. |

'only real-live field experience counts...' Most of our clients have implemented Value Stream Technology applications within weeks for pilot assembly lines, and rolled out to entire manufacturing operations within just a couple of months. The applications display simplicity and are process oriented, fully integrated into the natural workflow from engineering and line planning to manufacturing, quality and performance processes. Learning curves are short, applications are intuitive and functions such as drag & drop enable working fast. Within a short timeframe a wide range of applications can be applied and the home run begins. Direct and indirect cost savings are significant and fast a break-even has been reached, resulting in extraordinary high return on investment. Some of our clients reached a return on investment after four to six weeks after implementation already, most of them within six to ten months. For more detailed benefits and return-on-investment information, please see individual application areas CellFusion clients are faster and more efficient in turning innovative product design into lean manufacturing applications. |
