Industrial Technology Modernization Program. Project 44. Modernize Facility Equipment and Processes. Volume 1. Revision 2. Phase 2

Abstract

The fabrication task will be divided between four functional departments 1) metal finishing, 2) flexible machining, 3) tool model/short runshop and 4) dedicated machining. Each area will handle a special work task either supporting other fabrication activities or reacting to special volume/set up needs. Order schedules will be handled by the MAP system, critical resources management is directed by the CRP module and timely procurement of material is the responsibility of the PMC (Purchase Material) Module. Some reserve capacity is maintained to handle must have jobs . Metal finish will support all other slip with coating and finish processing, while flexible machining will handle moderate/high volume parts that do not pass machine utilization thresholds. The tool model/short run slip will handle low volume/high set up needs and provide back up to the flexible shops. High volume precision parts will process across the dedicated machining cell. Keywords: Machining workcells, CNC machining.
