Abstract:
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) see themselves confronted with constant challenges. Globalization, volatile markets and international competition require a focus on key topics such as customer satisfaction and delivery reliability. Key requirements for achieving these aims are lean and reactive business processes, which are obtained through horizontal and vertical networking. To network these business departments a lean shop floor information application, consisting of Smart Devices and a production application is developed. Aim of the system is the recording and needs-based communication of component modifications and technical drawings in SME special machine manufacturers. With the system, reduction overall cycle time in projects, timely feedback of errors from the shop floor to the top floor, reduction of mistakes carried over to new projects and reduced time for the completion of the customer documentation can be achieved.
