Challenges

Mobile phone manufacturing

When manufacturing mobile phones, many different versions and products are run on one line. Owing to the shortening lifetimes of mobile phones, just-in-time manufacture of smaller batches is becoming increasingly important. Often, delivery lead-times are just a few hours. Other requirements include:

On-time delivery to customers

High line performance predictability in combination with scalable batch production and fast changeover help ensure you meet your Master Production Schedule (MPS) requirements. And to be able to deal with volume fluctuations, you also need the capability to facilitate output-on-demand.

Effective cost management

Due to price erosion and fierce competition, margins are very low, making cost control and cost predictability essential. Assembléon offers solutions with a low initial investment via leasing and rental constructions, the lowest possible cost of ownership (low maintenance costs and, low power consumption) and the highest output per investment.
