Project goals
- Ensuring the transparency of the process of technological preparation of production (TPP) within mechanical and assembly stages through the use of a single automated system and control over the execution of tasks;
- Reducing the number and duration of design and technological engineering changes, as well as improvements to technical processes at the implementation stage;
- Improving the quality of processes;
- Reducing unproductive costs in technological preparation of production, including routine operations of preparation and issuance of technological documentation;
- Improving planning accuracy, optimizing equipment utilization.
Project deadlines
March 2014 – March 2016
Project summary
Here are the functional tasks covered by the solution:
- Issuance of a set of process documentation for parts and assembly units as per USDD, USTD and regulatory documents in force at the Customer's enterprise;
- Applying electronic procedures for approval of process documentation and making changes given processes outside an item to be automated;
- Development of NC programs;
- Storage of control programs and their transfer to NC machines;
- Monitoring compliance with approved labor standards;
- Transferring information (specifications and route maps in physical terms) required to calculate the standard and actual cost of products to the ERP system.
Project results
- Implementation of unified integrated system to manage technological preparation of production made it possible to reduce the time and costs for the development of technological processes per one parts and assembly unit due to the possibility of parallel work of several technologists and NC programmers;
- Improving the efficiency of using NC machines, reducing the assembly cycle and the time it takes to put the product into production;
- Reducing the labor intensity of technological preparation of production due to the use of a single base of reference data;
- Reducing the length of production preparation by constant exchange of information on the product structure and other data necessary for purchasing and planning production with the corporate ERP system;
- Automatic generation of process documentation required for production based on the approved product structure;
- Improving the quality of process documentation;
- Maximum efficient use of production resources;
- Performance of coordination, approval of process documentation and engineering changes in the Teamcenter environment (PLM, product lifecycle management system) made it possible to significantly shorten the times.
