The KmProd Method

Human at the heart of innovation

We know that your job is demanding and that each workshop has unique specificities, that is why our method integrates from the beginning all the stakeholders, from the apprentice to the manager through the temporary or the workshop chief.

Continuous improvement is at the heart of our DNA and will remain so for us to grow with and for our customers.

Our goals for our customers

The KmProd method is designed to meet the problems experienced by our customers every day.

Our response, tools and metrics (KPI) are based on these goals and we are continually seeking to improve them.

Limit rejects and losses

Economic and ecological gesture, optimized management of the risk of rejects is essential.

Organize

Your business evolves quickly and technologies even more. The scheduling and organization allow to go to the essential without upsetting the existing.

Share information

Whether rising, descending or horizontal, information is at the heart of your strategy and your success.

Optimize

Continuous adaptation to market requirements and the needs of the field can only be achieved by taking into account the realities of the organization.

How do we work ?
Subject progress tracking will be performed in PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act).

This method presents the 4 phases to successively follow in a logic of continuous improvement.
cercle01

Plan

Study, analyze, plan and prepare the work to be done. Establish objectives, define the tasks to be performed.
cercle02

Do

Make, perform, exchange information in question / answer mode and perform the tasks provided.

cercle03

Check

Check the results. Measure and compare with forecasts (time, material, expenses and other variables / consumables).
cercle04

Act

Synthèse puis actions de corrections si nécessaire. Analyse des causes des dérives entre l’attendu et le réaliser, définition des nouveaux points d’intervention.
KmProd, as simple as effective !

Industry 4.0 is primarily made of networks. KmProd5 is compatible with most and handles QR codes and barcodes and connects all your terminals and machines around the world. Have all the tools you need to focus on the best decisions to make.

Why an MES / MOM ?
The MES / MOM is at the heart of the data and even more, it is a lever of growth and precision. Its ability to interface between the production terminals / sensors and the ERP gives a fair and realistic vision of the production as the workshop.

The functions of the ERP: the Enterprise Resource Planning, is part of the normative, legal and commercial logic of the company. Its action is complementary to that of the MES / MOM.

  • Planning de production
  • Factory production schedule
  • Logistics

The MES / MOM, at the heart of the data, is able to deploy many modules for the applicant. These tools allow synthesis during production for decision-makers and actors.

  • Acquisition of data
  • Scheduling
  • Staff management
  • Resource Management
  • Product and batch tracking
  • Product and historical traceability
  • Quality control
  • Manufacturing process management
  • Performance Analysis
  • Document management
  • Maintenance management

 

The MES / MOM communicates perfectly with the machines. It summarizes the information and makes it possible to anticipate risky situations (delays, reminders, warnings, requests for actions). This capability allows for effective action in the following areas:

  • Manufacturing
  • Machines and terminals
  • Controllers
  • Control and Quality

Les fonctions de l’ERP : le Progiciel de gestion intégré, s’inscrit dans la logique normative, juridique et commerciale de l’entreprise. Son action est complémentaire à celle du MES / MOM.

Logistique

  • Planning de production
  • Calendrier de production d’usine

Le MES / MOM, au cœur de la donnée, est en mesure de déployer de nombreux modules pour le demandeur. Ces outils permettent la synthèse au cours de la production à destination des décideurs et acteurs.

  • Acquisition des données
  • Ordonnancement
  • Gestion du personnel et des ressources
  • Cheminement des produits et des lots
  • Traçabilité produit et historique
  • Contrôle de la qualité
  • Gestion des processus de fabrication
  • Analyse des performances
  • Gestion des documents
  • Gestion de la maintenance

Le MES / MOM communique parfaitement avec les machines. Il synthétise l’information et permet d’anticiper les situations risquées (retards, rappels, avertissements, demandes d’actions). Cette capacité permet d’agir efficacement dans les domaines suivants :

  • Fabrication
  • Machines et terminaux
  • Automates
  • Contrôle et Qualité
