关于客户
Nordson Corporation, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, operates in more than 30 countries. As a market leader, Nordson delivers precision technology solutions to help customers succeed worldwide. The company engineers, manufactures, and markets differentiated products and systems used for dispensing adhesives, coatings, sealants, biomaterials, and other materials, fluid management, test and inspection, UV curing, and plasma surface treatment. Nordson serves a wide variety of consumer non-durable, durable, and technology end markets, including packaging, nonwovens, electronics, medical, appliances, energy, transportation, construction, and general product assembly and finishing.
挑战
In 2014, Nordson Corporation expanded its commitment to Continuous Improvement by introducing company-wide Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the Nordson Business System (NBS). The KPIs were designed to measure progress around critical performance drivers such as growth, profitability, productivity, asset utilization, and customer satisfaction. Nordson aggressively tracked and reported progress against these KPIs for every business unit. The NBS, rooted in Lean Six Sigma, was implemented to improve performance within each KPI. At Nordson Adhesive Dispensing Systems in Johns Creek, Georgia, the team determined that machine performance needed to be measured in real-time to quickly recognize and correct errors, reduce waste, and continuously optimize productivity. They reviewed available solutions and decided to implement the Shop Floor Management Technology provided by FORCAM.
解决方案
Nordson implemented the FORCAM FORCE Shop Floor Management Technology to better measure machine performance in real-time, complementing their SAP ERP system. The implementation was carried out in two phases. Phase 1 involved setting up real-time machine data collection, web visualization, and alerting. This helped employees become familiar with the user interface and data in the FORCAM FORCE product suite. Phase 2 involved interfacing FORCAM's technology with their SAP ERP system, allowing operators to interact with both systems from the same screen. This integration enabled Nordson to visualize actual machine status, calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and analyze deviations between planned and actual cycle times. The technology also facilitated weekly OEE meetings and Rapid Improvement Events (RIE) to focus on specific machines and identify opportunities for improvement.
运营影响
  • Nordson has weekly OEE meetings utilizing real-time shop floor data to monitor, analyze, and set goals for stoppages, downtimes, production flow, organization, quality, productivity, tool optimizations, logistics, and work orders.
  • Rapid Improvement Events (RIE) are held to focus on particular machines, allowing operators, process engineers, supervisors, and programmers to discuss and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • FORCAM FORCE technology helps Nordson reduce order variation in SAP by utilizing a color-coded user interface that encourages operators to clock in and out of jobs at appropriate times.
  • The technology has improved labor tracking, reduced undefined stoppages, and streamlined processes, contributing to overall productivity improvements.
  • Nordson's commitment to understanding OEE has been enhanced by FORCAM FORCE, which objectively measures machine states and visualizes process losses, saving time and eliminating human error.
数量效益
  • 5% improvement in run time.
  • Nordson improved productivity by 5%, measured in earned hours.
