Problems

Frequent Questions from the industry.

How can I make my local production profitable?

Global supply chain issues are driving industry to produce locally again. To remain competitive, production environments must be optimized to the extent that production costs are kept as low as possible while maintaining fair labor costs and consistent quality.

How can my production environment be automated?

Not only because of the increase in profitability, but also because of the constant shortage of skilled workers, companies are nowadays forced to automate their processes and thus compensate for the lack of trained employees. However, this must be planned from the ground up.

How do I respond to constantly changing production cycles?

Nowadays, production cycles rarely remain at the same production level over a longer period of time. Product variants, tests, lack of success of the end products and many other things cause the production cycles to change constantly. It is always necessary to react to this at short notice without disrupting the flow of day-to-day business.

SmartFlow Effect

With the SmartFlow Effect to the modern production environment.

The SmartFlow effect is a hybrid combination of the Lean technique "Kanban", the Constant Work in Process "CONWIP" and the Theory of Constrains "ToC". The goal is to maintain a constant, low inventory level within a production line through the hybrid CONWIP/Kanban combination in an industrial production environment, thereby reducing the lead time of the workpieces to be manufactured. The addition of the Theory of Constrains (also called bottleneck theory) additionally ensures that production losses due to short-term failures of machines within the production are minimized or even eliminated in the best possible way.
