Thales has improved its production monitoring, in particular in the capitalisation of multi-site production data.
Interview with Jean Paul Garré, who is in charge of the Competitiveness Project
interview with M.Garre
What Qubes modules have you installed ?

" We have installed the Production Monitoring, Traceability and Scheduling modules. We have also set up a dialogue interface between our product test benches and Qubes. This enables us to capitalise the performance data of our products, which can then be extracted in order to conduct analyses of the root causes of faults. We also have plans in place to install the SPC module."


What can you say about the integration of Qubes and SAP ?

" SAP R/3 outputs all the data contained in production orders and planned orders, in particular logistics data and technical data (articles, nomenclatures and manufacturing ranges), on a daily basis.
The consistency of the information output by SAP is checked by Qubes. This interface guarantees that the two packages complement each other with no redundancy or gaps between the calculation of requirements performed by SAP and the fine planning of operations by Qubes. SAP is therefore still the reference for manufacturing aspects (nomenclature data and manufacturing range)."


What improvements have you detected since you installed Qubes ?

" Since we began rolling out Qubes in mid-2005, we have noticed gradual improvements such as real-time sharing of manufacturing information in real time among all the workers involved in the product line (from the operator to the line supervisor, including the engineers who are responsible for the products), responsiveness to manufacturing anomalies (workflow), etc. We now have access to standardised production indicators that are updated regularly via the Qubes viewer." 


What are your expectations for the longer term ?

" In the longer term, we hope to achieve full control of Qubes scheduling in order to improve the sturdiness of the punctuality of our productions and reduce our manufacturing cycles. We would also like to improve the administrative productivity at our workshops by developing the Qubes workshop information system."
