    The Robust Factory: Zero defects and minimum variability

    The quality function as we know it in the automotive industry is facing a transformation caused by the increased level of demand, the criticality of assets, the complexity of manufacturing technologies and the digital ecosystem, which make it possible to develop a robust factory with minimum variability. This concept is the result of the integration of automation, technologies, management systems and people, with the aim of anticipating the appearance of defects, as well as optimizing the working conditions of the process. Making the robust factory a reality requires in-depth knowledge of the behavior and relationship of raw materials and processes, as well as the opportunities provided by technologies, digital tools and people for their management. This training action deepens on the challenges and scenarios that are presented to the quality/process function in order to focus on 0 defects.

    REMARKS:

    • The training will take place at ASF’s facilities.
    • Attendees will be able to interact with the quality solutions applied in the manufacturing line itself.
    Schedule

    October 25 and 26, from 8:00 to 15:00.

    At AIC Academy (Amorebieta-Etxano).

    LENGTH: 14 hours

    Objective

    Attendees will be able to identify the main actions to go through in their companies at the level of robustness, both conventional actions for the minimization of process variability and those actions related to industry 4.0 for the predictive management of its quality.

    Addressed

    Managers and technicians related to the areas of engineering, quality, production, digital transformation and operations.
