MRO - Manufacturing Operations

Your Situation

After days, weeks or even months of overhaul operations, work is completed on a unit. Or is it?

• Are all the directives satisfied?
• Are all the emergent problems accounted for?
• Is the final effort expended available for cost and billing at delivery?

Re-assembly executed in the "can't fail" mode of the Pertinence Suite Execution module provides ironclad assurances that processes were performed correctly and documentation is complete and compliant. Having all records, including labor and material expenditures, completed and available electronically means costing and billing are in synch with the unit overhaul and ready for the customer at delivery. No time is wasted on lengthy audits that delay payment or impede certification of compliance.

Intercim's answer

The shop floor is the heart of any repair and overhaul operation. More than simply work areas and side shops, today's operation must be armed with the most advanced processes and enterprise applications available. To be competitive, the shop floor must be in control.

The Pertinence Suite Process Execution capability is the proven solution for controlling advanced and highly regulated assembly. This powerful yet user friendly system:

• Enforces procedural control on each step or operation.
  • Verifies work is performed in the right way, in the right order by the right person
  • Prohibits shortcuts, unauthorized changes or tasks performed out of sequence
• Gathers build information as the build progresses including labor and material consumption
• Supports lean initiatives in reducing non value-added activities and promotes a predictable, repeatable and sustainable workflow. The time and labor needed to perform manual tasks like data collection and verification is markedly and verifiably reduced

Your Situation

Despite re-manufacturing all sub-assemblies to specification, some end item units do not perform to standard.

An engine is being reassembled using parts from several sources: new, slightly used and remanufactured. Tolerances are all within range, but they run the gamut between high and low. Should I be worried?

No worries with the Pertinence Suite. Operations Advisor Dashboard alerts maintenance technicians of a quality risk before it becomes irreversible. This real-time, risk reduction system not only detects problems…it helps mitigate the risk immediately by proposing preventive action.

Intercim's answer

Patented pattern-matching recognition technology drives Operations Advisor's unique capability to monitor quality risks while in production. Based on historical lessons and best operational practice, the system assesses all combinations of process and material characteristics to detect those that are likely to result in poor quality.

Upon alerting operators that a risk has been detected, the system offers mitigation options to prevent the problem identified. Defect reduction is measurable and the probability of failing for recurring reasons is virtually eliminated. In addition, Operations Advisor monitors workstation performance and provides at-a-glace, real-time visibility of production status, quality concerns and schedule variances.
