15:30-16:00 – Lean implementation of the Machine Engineering Process
Presented by Koen Laurijssen (Flanders Make), Peter Van Puyvelde (Nedschroef)
In the past decade, NedSchroef Machinery (NSM) has integrated numerous new technologies into its cold form machinery, necessitating a multi-disciplinary engineering approach. To capitalize on NSM’s knowledge base while managing this complexity, they developed an Engineering Process. Collaborating with FM, they devised a Machine Engineering Process featuring stage gates to monitor project maturity across different aspects. Additionally, they aimed to enhance re-use of technical results, utilize project outcomes for training, ensure quality across projects, and implement a model-based approach for product families. This journey demonstrates NSM’s endeavor to balance rigorous methods with agile practices effectively.
