Acatec 通过采用新技术努力降低成本并超越客户期望，选择彻底改革从原材料采购到产品最终交付的整个流程。

技术情况

为了提高整个运营的生产力，Acatec 决定实施省时、资源轻的系统。这些系统旨在协助提前规划工作、衡量能力和管理苛刻的交付时间表。该倡议包括实施仓库管理系统和计算机控制生产。

Acatec SL

Acatec SL 总部位于西班牙，是精密航空部件的领先制造商。公司创新的生产工艺使其成为欧洲航空制造业的先锋。

作为一家注重质量的企业，Acatec 是 Airbus、EADS Casa 和 Composite International SA 等知名航空航天公司的高需求、低成本供应商。

Acatec 的精益团队完全理解以指标形式呈现的一致、可靠数据的价值，例如 OEE（整体设备效率）。该团队评估说，Acatec 需要一家技术供应商来提供交钥匙系统和设备安装以及数据解释，因此在持续改进方面采用相对简单。

从开始到结束，Acatec 在选择后的 90 天内迅速参与并部署了 MERLIN 系统。精益团队评估了 MERLIN 实时数据的价值并将其应用于：

1. 集成的 ERP 连接提供对作业优先级至关重要的日程安排的自动加载
2. 能够加载工作订单、操作员列表、产品标准、简化工作验证
3. 开始创建价值流流程以提高效率
4. 通过工厂及时移动库存可防止机器缺乏材料
5. 对所有员工的一般意识、反应和效率的生产指标的可见性
6. 带有文本和电子邮件警报的高级报告，用于密钥管理

• The deployment of the MERLIN system within 90 days of selection led to significant operational improvements. The real-time data provided by MERLIN was integrated with ERP connectivity, providing automated loading of schedules critical to job prioritization. It also enabled the loading of work orders, operator lists, and product standards, streamlining job validation. Acatec began creating a value stream process to enhance efficiency and ensure timely movement of inventory through the plant, preventing a lack of material for machines. The visibility of production metrics increased general awareness, reaction, and efficiency from all staff. Advanced reporting with text and email alerts to key management also became possible. The company was able to identify bottlenecks in the production process, making planning easier with graphical tools and real-time visibility of production. Alerts for machine-related events both automatically from the machine and operator gave faster response. The company also achieved full traceability of all machine events for aerospace industry compliance, giving Acatec a competitive edge in line with their mission statement.

• Increase in OEE of over 11% in just 3 months
• Eliminated the requirement for overtime associated with critical machines
• Increased gross revenue and bottom line profit, beyond their initial projections
