Saint Augustine, Germany – Hennecke interrupts production to reduce production times, quality and replace cultivation.The 2 million euro programme ($2.4 million) will last 3 years.
Thomas Wildt, speaking exclusively to UTECH-polyurethane.com, said: “The biggest investment is in logistics, as we have the meeting system just in time.The procedure is very close to Toyota’s production system, but it is modified according to our needs.”
Hennecke manufactures polyurethane production devices, such as systems to refine manufacturing.
Wildt: us, the HPS train
There are 3 key adjustments to Hennecke’s mix count and the main site in Germany: At first, the site was physically changed with the walls removed between the uncooked curtains and the meeting departments to facilitate production.New workspaces have been created and procedures regulated.in a position to ensure orders.
This, combined with the just-in-time production process, is helping speed up the manufacture of individual standardized dosers and their assemblies.
“We build dispensers in five days, adding meetings and tests. This shortens our production time from 3 to 4 weeks to five days,” Wildt explained.
This means that the plant can increase production from 150 to 250 rainy portions consistent with the year, this includes the volumes of the automotive alliance. The workflow also includes areas for pre-assembly and customization.
Wildt added, “It doesn’t save corporate cash in working capital,” but it’s a “cultural replacement that we want to move forward.”Different operating strategies have been followed and are being developed.A significant replacement is a greater duty entrusted to the workshop.
“It doesn’t work perfectly from day one, ” he said. But we’re committed to iterations to get you where we want it.We started the ‘HPS exercise’ in St. Augustine.It is up to the team to make a decision about how the exercise stops.The purpose is no, it stops; its speed is controlled by sales orders and service delivery.”
This is the last phase of modernization of Hennecke Wildt, which includes cutting the complexity of the company.For example, as of 2019 machines have been designed and built at various sites in parallel, now they are produced in one of the company’s 4 production sites.Excellence.
For example, St. Augustine is the headquarters of the manufacture, progression and design of all machines and mixing heads in upper polyurethane and low deformation, also manufactured on site machines for similar products such as plates, molded foams, appliances and PU spray programs..
