Shorter production cycles for aircraft seat manufacturer

摘要

Part of the global Zodiac Aerospace Group, the Zodiac Seats UK division produces aircraft seats ranging from premium economy, through business class to upper class. It focuses on high-end products which it designs, certifies and assembles at its plants in Camber-ley and Cwmbran. Zodiac Aerospace welcomed the offer from 3M to walk the production line, which enabled 3M to understand its adhesive bonding requirements to help improve throughput. The review forms part of Zodiac Aerospace's response to the great need for improved productivity across the aircraft industry which has reported major order backlogs with airlines pressing for increasing quantities of new, fuel efficient aircrafts.
