Praktische Erfahrungen beim Einsatz eines flexiblen Fertigungssystems in der Klein- und Mittelserie

The flexible manufacturing center in Bissingen was commissioned in 1985. At that time, the mechanical individual component production department was producing some 1,500 high-precision engineering components from the materials aluminum and high-alloy steels. The available equipment was obsolete. Flexible NC and CNC were not available. Major deficiencies existed in the material flow with long throughput times and in the sequential organization and information flow. The objective of the restructuring of production from 1983 through 1985 was a step-by-step improvement of the available equipment and material flow. At the same time, data consistency was to be achieved by connecting different production areas and production stages. A project team was capable of successfully achieving these objectives within two years. The measures taken to achieve these objectives were jointly prepared and introduced by the project team on a step-by-step basis via many production and planning points.
