Assembly Planbook - June 2008 - (Page 27) Taking Process Control to the next level Because the machines are built on a standardized frame using largely modular components, stocking and replacing worn parts is much easier than it would be with a highly customized assembly system. tooling and assembly equipment as well as raw material. By using the same assembly, we get a little more maintenance technology, we get better at what we do, and we get acquainted with one source of equipment.” In addition to assembling the pumps, the new system performs a series of quality and functional checks to ensure each pump has been correctly manufactured before it is shipped to the customer. The tests also help operators identify and correct any process problems that might crop up during production. “The 100 percent function test is a nice feature. We know the dispensers are all functionally correct,” Murtagh says. “Time is always money. But it doesn’t pay to make an inferior product quickly.” Murtagh adds that the system controller doesn’t just keep track of defect rates, but pinpoints exactly where any defects might be occurring, making them that much easier to fix. Because each assembly station is built on a standardized frame from largely standardized parts, stocking and replacing worn components is much easier than it would be with a highly customized system.
