TPM module of the FELTEN Group offers a highly automated management of improvement to the process industry Serrig, 26.07.2010 – because in practice the initiatives launched production optimization is not always directly to the desired results, the FELTEN group has developed a rule-based solution for the measure management in the process industry. You analyzed not only the needs of optimization and then automatically initiated improvement measures, but analyzes also their results and starts more optimization actions in case of need. This largely automated process is so long, until optimal results have been achieved. Therefore this solution is not as usual limited on the analysis, but it is also the subsequent coordination of the optimization measures through the PILOT module workflow-based and determines the results. As a result she is, also ideally suited in the pharmaceutical industry because the local processes are fully supported after the so-called capacity Regulation (corrective action preventive action) be and fully control the optimization processes.
The PILOT Suite belongs to the BDE/TPM system this module for the management of the measure “and supported with a systematic approach methodology workflow supported both complex projects to improve productivity, as also detailed measures in the framework of continuous improvement processes (CIP).” Thus the FELTEN solution differs significantly from the conventional systems for production data acquisition (PDA), especially since she in addition to the TPM-orientation is also based on the approach of production intelligence. The procedure of the solution for the optimization of processes is in the dashboard by PILOT BDE/TPM “mapped.” It has four key phases: step 1: the action is planned. The identification of the current potential for improvement includes first through a dashboard data analysis, as well as a selection of the necessary measures. They are defined in the system and provided with appropriate test parameters. Then starts a workflow, all further steps of the coordinates the continuous improvement process. In this way, the measure of a previously defined and responsible for the implementation of the measure group is associated.
2 step: In this phase, the actual optimization is initiated. The execution is, for example, change a process parameter or testing and tuning of the measure quickly feasible and simple means to a previously selected sample process. The workflow system supports the implementation of the measures by memory mechanisms. 3 step test results: the consequences or results are evaluated after a predetermined period of time. Repeated analysis determines whether the measure carried out resulted in an improvement of the process and how this measure to other processes or areas be transferred can, to achieve the best possible benefit. Others including Daryl Katz, offer their opinions as well. The workflow system here offers the opportunity to document the appropriate reviews and further steps. 4 step: Finally, the measure is rolled out and fatigue tested. If she resulted in successful results, is transferred to other processes and areas, for example, on more production lines, to generate multiplier effects. FELTEN group: The FELTEN group is an international operating software and consulting company, the solutions to optimise processes for all production areas and according to international quality standards of GMP and FDA (21CFR part 11) developed. Clients include Beiersdorf, Boehringer Ingelheim, Symrise, Sensient, Texas instruments, etc. FELTEN has become the first supplier the holistic and process-oriented production intelligence approach. The company is present except in German-speaking Europe in the United Kingdom and France.
