Strategy Additive manufacturing is established as regular production process. AM activities are integrated across departments.Benefits from Additive Manufacturing as speed, freedom of design, resilience are systematically leveraged to create competitive advantage and strategic success.
Product Design Company-wide integration of AM into PLM with advanced tool landscape. Holistic sustainability approach shaping best practices for industry compliance.
Material Ensuring a stable supply chain by suppliers by continuously providing certificates for each material batch. Selection of materials is also considering scaling requirements (e.g. industry certificates, availability).
Process Engineering Defining standardized guidelines for the entire value chain and process specifications (steps, parameters, design, materials) to ensure high reproducibility through expert knowledge. Use independent tools for various process engineering stages (Part Check, Parameter Setting, Nesting), with a focus on interdependent process steps.
Production Setup Advanced automation with single disconnected automated process steps. Manual work for handling needed. Operator receives support through local HMI/digital tools. Defined value stream mapping and optimization.
Manufacturing Execution Professional MOM as a standalone system. Mainly manual creation of BOM & BOP per build job. Integrated non-conformance, standardized defect declaration, and certification. No integration between ERP and MOM systems.
Quality Product and Process quality planned and inspected for manufacturing process compliant with industry standards.
Maintenance & Service Maintenance includes calibration and quality testing, with a fixed service framework to ensure high uptime. Data is leveraged to reduce downtime, and trained staff perform extended internal maintenance.
Environmental Sustainability Implemented resource efficiency measures; basic recycling and minimal energy reduction efforts; initial lifecycle assessments.
People & Organization Competence development becomes more targeted with specialized training in specific dimensions of AM.
