Mercedes-AMG hand-constructed motor generation office is 2019 "Manufacturing plant of the Year"
Affalterbach. In general champ at the main endeavor - following on from its constant accomplishment in motorsport, the Mercedes-AMG execution and sports vehicle brand has now pulled off a comparative triumph in the territory of generation
The Mercedes-AMG group has structured a totally new mechanical production system consolidating the attempted and tried "Small time, One Engine" hand-completing guideline with bleeding edge "Industry 4.0" techniques. Along these lines, the hand-completed character coming about because of complete gathering of a motor by a solitary expert has been kept up while applying Industry 4.0 all through every single supporting procedure, for example, quality affirmation, coordinations or controlling. This implies individuals stay at the focal point all things considered - however with viable help from new advanced and shrewd innovations.
It was correctly this blend which prevailed upon the jury: "AMG has consolidated in commendable way the gathering idea which is focussed on human contribution with a significant level of robotization in the zone of testing stations and the inventory of materials, and applies an expansive range of advanced innovations." This has prompted generous enhancements in ergonomics, work processes, quality affirmation, manageability and effectiveness. Propelled by the exchange diary "Produktion" and the A.T. Kearney business consultancy in 1992, "Production line of the Year" is one of the most exceptionally perceived honors for the assembling business in Germany and around the world. The jury is comprised of eminent specialists from the fields of industry and science.
"We are charmed to get this universal honor as Factory of the Year", says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. "The standard we have set ourselves is to reclassify the eventual fate of execution on and on – with our items and furthermore in our creation in Affalterbach. I am pleased with what our group has accomplished here."
"For the get together of the new AMG four-chamber M139 we have attempted a total update of our trademark "Small time, One Engine" standard and adjusted the generation set-up to the new conceivable outcomes offered by Industry 4.0. The end result is a front line creation process which keeps on putting the attention on manual craftsmanship and a hand-completed character. We have likewise made perfect working conditions for our representatives ‑ in a light and vaporous, plainly composed and 'clean' condition. This gives the best premise to proceeding to guarantee our elevated requirement of value even as the innovation turns out to be progressively mind boggling", includes Dr Emmerich Schiller, COO and Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
The AMG 2.0-liter turbocharged four-chamber motor is gathered altogether by hand following the conventional AMG rule of "Small time, One Engine" – yet with a totally new, carefully bolstered procedure and strategic association. Computerized apparatuses furnish the representatives with ideal help as they approach their work.
The idea demonstrates persuading - the jury's decision: "The processing plant comes out ahead of the pack in the general 2019 challenge, showing extraordinary accomplishments in the zones of deftness and digitisation." In summarizing its reason for picking the industrial facility, it proceeds: "The eager supervisory crew has set clear focuses for development and accomplished a great jump in execution through the orderly use of computerization and digitisation. Excellent use is made of new advances to support productivity, for instance in the stock of materials, with computerized work routines or to check introduced materials. The extensive digitisation of work forms likewise positively affects the beginning up bend (shorter acquaintance time), improves item quality and lessens the gathering time per motor."
One achievement factor here is the new get together trolley on which the M139 is assembled. Our representatives were sounded out widely about their necessities here, and their reactions got due thought in building up the new trolley. All the vital working liquids and instruments are ergonomically masterminded nearby the truck, making work simpler, limiting separations and improving productivity. The coordinated tablet PC helps the representative with exact, obviously figured working directions. Paper manuals or rules are never again required - everything is digitized. The professional advantages from quick and straightforward access to all necessary data.
"Blue Sky" for a wonderful workplace.
The new cordless wrenches are promptly to hand, and never again should be snatched from overhead at each station as suspended, wired devices as in the past. The representatives allude to their working environment as "blue sky", as there are never again any power links dangling from the roof. The gathering shop establishes a splendid and breezy connection, and makes a lovely working atmosphere. Thorough digitisation improves both the effectiveness and adaptability of the assembling procedure: each apparatus is associated with the WiFi of the motor gathering shop – empowering and torque settings for the significant get together stage can along these lines be mechanized by means of the system. Furthermore, as all qualities are presently recorded consequently in advanced structure, quality, detectability and straightforwardness are guaranteed.
Every professional is trailed by a driverless trolley conveying a bushel. This contains every one of the parts that are required so as to completely gather an AMG motor. What's unique is that the framework continues around the industrial facility independently - with the guide of indoor GPS. This implies the shopping bin proceeds onward its very own to definitely where the professional is working. For the specialist, this removes the pointless errand of bringing parts from racks or compartments. This makes the activity significantly simpler and furthermore improves proficiency because of less interferences to the get together procedure. The bushels are stacked up at the Mercedes-AMG strategic focus in Marbach, and conveyed to the creation line on an "equitable in arrangement" premise.
Creation office in motorsport look with circuit environment
The get together trolleys and bushels are planned operating at a profit and white Mercedes-AMG look and game standards, for example, "START YOUR ENGINE" or "AMG PERFORMANCE INSIDE". In a similar vein, the shop floor has bring forth and white-and-red stripes suggestive of the kerbs and guide rails on courses. The part of manageability was likewise an essential piece of the making arrangements for the new creation line. The creation procedure utilizes sustainable power sources, and significantly lessens CO2 discharges, water utilization and waste.
Everything is new, yet one thing stays unaltered: each and every M139 motor bears the AMG motor identification with the individual mark of the specialist who fabricated it – a one of a kind quality trait.
Exacting and complex determination method for the title "Production line of the Year"
The determination methodology in the "Industrial facility of the Year" rivalry, which has been arranged every year since 1992, is exacting and covers different stages spreading over a while. Assembling organizations from any divisions can partake by entering a production line or a specialty unit. The size of the workforce ought to be at any rate 100. In the main stage, the members get an exceptionally complete survey, expecting them to give quantitative and subjective data identifying with regular execution information of the processing plant on all points along the additional worth chain.
Based on these key figures, the main gathering of taking an interest organizations is recognized and visited by an accomplished A.T. Kearney review group. The challenge's jury, which incorporates famous specialists from the fields of industry and science, along these lines picks the victor by reference to the survey and the discoveries of the on location visits.
Notwithstanding the general victor, there are extra grants for members who have shown exceptional accomplishments or uncommon inventiveness in seven individual classifications. The champs will be declared toward the finish of October 2019 and exhibited by the business diary "Produktion".
