The whole Smart F.L.O.W. project follows on from the Staufen project. We are aware that the key to our future lies in having customers who work with us towards mutual prosperity. In addition to a competitive price, it is important for our customers that we are a reliable supplier, significantly shorten delivery times, and especially that the products supplied are of excellent quality. The project will therefore mainly affect the Production, Supply Chain, Purchasing, Technology, Quality and Design departments.
The primary idea of the entire Smart F.L.O.W. is the gradual transformation of the company into a modern, value-oriented, flexible enterprise. This can be achieved by dividing the lines into runners and exotics, optimized production planning, digitalization, shorter delivery times, on-time deliveries and reduced losses. For this reason, based on the analyses of 2018, we have prepared a program supported by three pillars.
The first of these pillars, relating to “Production Management and Planning“ will affect the company in terms of organization and planning of production, as well as robotization and digitization of production processes.
