The robustness of processes

摘要

Parts manufacturers face challenges that seem contradictory; on one hand they must produce shorter and shorter batches or even unitary parts. On the other hand they must manufacture as automatically as possible and at minimum costs. The flexibility of their means of production and the robustness of the process therefore direct influence their success on the markets. A manufacturer of milling and turning centers pulls out in this complex equation. Meeting at Willemin-Macodel SA with MM. Patrick Haegeli, director and Denis Jeannerat, technical director.
