LEAN MANUFACTURING
The need for flexibility, responsiveness and cost reduction has become of primary importance for all or most of the mass production processes, particularly in Europe. The principles of Lean Manufacturing provide the solution to this need and its application has revolutionised manufacturing methods in recent years, starting from the automotive sector. Starting from this general need of its customers, Samac has looked for and developed solutions that increasingly integrate the features of lean production into the assembly systems, implementing more than 100 dedicated lines and machines in a few years and becoming recognised by the market as a specialist.

Below are the main concepts that distinguish Samac’s Lean assembly and testing systems.

“U” or “L” layouts to ensure flexibility in the line’s productivity, depending on the number of operators used.
Objective poka-yoke checking systems for manual operations to ensure that the process's quality parameters are met.
Modular system configuration, to ensure that work stations can easily be integrated or replaced and to facilitate handling and installation at the final destination.
Process data traceability system for the product and the components being assembled, through a supervision system and unit encoding/reading.
Research into ways of optimising the time to change model being processed through mechatronic systems.
Objective poka-yoke checking systems for change of model re-tooling.
Ergonomic study of the manual stations, to optimise the cycle time and the operators’ working conditions.
Systems to ensure that the components to be picked up manually can be easily identified by the operator.
Precise, easy to understand operator instructions.
Our engineering approach aims at making the addition of new models possible at a later point in time.
