- Issues
-
Improving productivity in high-mix low-volume manufacturing
- Achieving ultra-high-mix, low-volume production, with infinitely variable die/mold materials, sizes, and shapes, even with many one-off jobs.
- Worked hard to improve productivity, but still not achieved after several years.
-
- Effectiveness
-
The search for better programming and setup operations intensified.
- With the MCR-AF double-column upgrade and MB-56VB vertical machining center, these two machines were linked with Okuma's Connect Plan to visualize their machining status.
- Operating hours and downtime are indicated by bar graphs and pie charts, and the efforts to search for better programming and setup changes became energized.
- By automatically accumulating operating rates and operation/alarm histories, the problems we couldn't see before came out of the woodwork.
