SUCCESS STORIES – IT SOLUTIONS

THE PROBLEM

Our client’s core activity involves the assembly of consumer electronics, household appliances, and automotive products. They operate production plants in Tierra del Fuego, where various assembly lines are in operation. The business model of an assembler is quite unique, as it has suppliers and customers that are the same company: they provide component kits to be assembled, and then purchase the finished product. Our client was negotiating agreements with various international manufacturers for the assembly of their products in the country, and it was mandatory and required by these manufacturers to have an adequate manufacturing control system so that they could certify the operation on their production lines.

THE SOLUTION

Tecnoap designed a solution that could report all events that occur on the shop floor, station by station. They developed a Shop Floor Control (SFC) system that operates closely with the organization’s ERP, both forming the Integrated Manufacturing System “SIM.” This system allows for tracking indicators, providing visibility on product traceability, efficiency measurement, quality status and circuits management, and mass balance.

THE RESULTS

The project achieved a high level of satisfaction with the client, and currently, the SFC is implemented in most of the assembly lines for consumer electronics and electronic board manufacturing. The greatest achievement has been that, as a result of the operational improvement provided by Tecnoap’s SFC, the client has successfully passed international audits, which were an indispensable requirement for currently assembling products from World Class brands.
