Maintenance is one of the vital components of the industry. It has continuously improved as production processes and equipment have evolved, and it is therefore in the natural order of things that it continues to do so in the future. For the industry of the future, the objective is to reduce downtim
Make processes more efficient by identifying and eliminating waste, knowing customer expectations and organizing to meet them. These are the main objectives that define Lean Thinking, a “way of thinking” based on the Lean approach and promoted by the authors of a book that has become a r
One of the main assets of a company is the knowledge it strives to create, acquire, manage and optimize. And since, in the world of the industry as in any organization, some people leave while others arrive, it is essential to ensure that this know-how can be transmitted from the first to the last,
Learning, acquisition and transmission of knowledge are key factors in determining a company’s performance. In industry, knowledge is of two types: explicit knowledge, which can be formalized and codified, and tacit knowledge, which is less tangible and much more complicated to transmit. The o
Maintenance is a vital activity in the industry. When properly orchestrated and applied, it allows the company to ensure customer satisfaction, since it is able to provide the customer with a quality product. It also helps to preserve its resources by ensuring that production resources remain operat
Key element of industrial documentation, the operating mode is the basic support that allows operators to be guided in the performance of the tasks inherent to their respective jobs. It is therefore vital for the company that these documents are not only perfectly clear and legible, but also free of
The hunt for waste, in all its forms, is at the heart of production strategies, as they constitute a lot of obstacles to performance. Waste of time is one of those aspects on which managers focus their efforts to reduce its scope, as it is particularly penalizing. They exist in particular during ser
The industry of the future is already in motion. It is characterized in particular by the use of increasingly complex and sophisticated tools, those related to digital technology, and therefore requires the adaptation of the skills of technicians and engineers to these technologies. Training is, the
The process of digitizing the industry, which has been underway for several years now, has only just begun to reveal its first impacts. While, overall, the feedback from experience is rather encouraging, the digital transformation of factories will only really reveal its secrets in terms of signific
Can we ensure production that meets customer expectations while remaining competitive and improving profit levels? This is the multivariate equation that arises in an industry where performance is a guarantee of survival, with competition more intense than ever. The cost of non-quality is an aspect
It is not enough to assign an identifier to a product to talk about traceability. The follow-up of its elaboration, from its arrival to its exit from the production chain and its distribution, requires an entire organization to think and set up. When traceability and production tracking are guarante
Total productive maintenance, which began in Japan in the early 1970s, was quickly exported, as the first experiments proved to be so successful. Today, this method is applied in most mass production industries. TPM is considered by many specialists as a real performance lever. However, to be fully
The same way as work instructions, safety measures and verification procedures must be scrupulously observed in order to reduce the risk of incidents that could harm the physical or moral integrity of an employee. Indeed, no organization can neglect the elementary rules of security within its struct
Some companies have already entered the digital age by integrating the new technologies it brings and reorganizing themselves accordingly. Others have only just begun this digital transformation and are stepping up their efforts to avoid being on the sidelines of this evolution. All of them are well
In industry, robots and software are now part of the landscape and continue to profoundly change production locations. These new and increasingly sophisticated tools redefine both the working environment and the way employees carry out their missions, including those related to maintenance. The moni
Developing and theorizing processes and methods is important in any industry. Nevertheless, these concepts, even if they are very precise and complete, are always confronted with the reality on the ground, which is inevitably made up of unexpected events, problems and various dysfunctions. This is w
The performance of a company is not only determined by the means of production at its disposal. It is also defined by the intangible capital it has built up, as well as by its ability to preserve, optimize and transmit it. The promotion of operational know-how is one of the major challenges facing t
The world of the modern industry does not leave room for stagnation, especially when it comes to quality. Each company is called upon to improve in this regard in order to remain efficient and competitive. Waste, dysfunctions and sources of non-quality are real obstacles to production and quality, h
The digital revolution, which is undoubtedly the main source of change in the industry, is changing its structure and organization. At the same time, it brings about change even in the workstations. New technologies shape the technician’s environment and the way he acts. The technical and orga
ICTs have invaded the industry for several years now and foreshadow what the plant of the future will look like. The new tools offered by spectacular technological advances, both in terms of hardware and software, are both promising and transformative in the organization and execution of work. Digit
