SUDELEC is an expert in the manufacture of electronic cards and systems.
It operates in cutting-edge sectors that require a very high level of expertise: aeronautics, industrial computing, industry, medical, energy, etc.
SUDELEC carries out the complete stages of design, CAD and industrialization of the cards.

In connection with a strong development of its activity, and after several years of continuous improvement on the field, SUDELEC launched actions of progress on its planning and its piloting of workshop. Good practices were already well anchored, like the prohibition to launch OFs with missing components or the will not to launch too many OFs simultaneously in workshop.
To advance in its approach, SUDELEC has embarked on a project to diagnose, simulate and manage its flows.
The objectives of the project were to:
SUDELEC being an expert in electronics and digital technology, it was natural to choose digital tools from the Factory of the Future for its manufacturing workshops.
However, SUDELEC’s management was also attentive to the deployment of good flow management practices aligned with its Lean Manufacturing actions within the GIFAS/Space Aero program.
The Conwip pull flow supported by a digital board appeared to be the right approach to ensure production rates, control work-in-process, limit throughput times and ensure OTD, all in compliance with the Lean approach.
An initial flow diagnosis was necessary to analyze the specificities of SUDELEC’s activity. It allowed to understand the piloting methods used and to organize the transition to a pulled flow in Conwip.
We then conducted a training session for all the players with the Conwip Game to explain the upcoming developments.
Then we implemented our two software tools:
The simulator is not intended to be used permanently. It is used to resize resources and work-in-progress when major changes in production rates are envisaged.
The digital board, on the other hand, is used on a daily basis for piloting and as a focal point for short interval managements (SIMs) in the workshop.
The main results of this project are as follows:
“We have gained in efficiency and coherence thanks to a 4.0 workshop management solution adapted to the high technological level of our products” Serge CALMARD, CEO.
