Integrated Manufacturing
Speedwell’s cutting-edge approach to manufacturing is based upon philosophies of streamlining and optimizing the entire production process. We at Speedwell embrace a holistic approach to manufacturing by integrating factors such as design, planning, production, logistics, and quality control, into a cohesive and interconnected system.
The Integrated Manufacturing approach was developed to tackle the limitations of conventional manufacturing methods, in which each stage of production is in silos with its own objectives and metrics. The traditional approach often led to inefficiencies, longer lead times, increased costs, and limited adaptability to changing customer needs. Integrated Manufacturing seeks to break down these barriers and create a unified environment where different stages of the production process work seamlessly together.
Speedwell’s Pillars of Integrated Manufacturing:
Collaborative Design and Engineering
We, at Speedwell, thrive on a culture of collaboration, and hence our Integrated Manufacturing philosophy is built upon cross-functional collaboration between design and engineering teams. All relevant stakeholders of the manufacturing process are proactively involved from the beginning, making it easier to identify potential issues early on, reduce the risk of errors, and ensure efficient manufacturing that also gets “First Time Right”
Flexible and Automated Process
The customer is at the heart of every process we have designed at Speedwell and meeting customer’s changing needs and preferences is at the core of our manufacturing process. To enable this need for adaptability we have adopted Advanced automation technologies, such as robotics to make our manufacturing flexible. These technologies enable manufacturers to achieve higher levels of precision, consistency, and speed in their production processes. Furthermore, flexible manufacturing systems can be quickly reconfigured to accommodate changes in product design or demand, allowing manufacturers to adapt rapidly to market fluctuations.
Integrated Supply Chain
Speedwell has very high levels of backward integration in our supply chain, giving us great advantages, such as cost optimization, optimized inventory levels along shortened lead times, resulting in an agile & yet efficient supply chain.
Real-time Monitoring and Control
Our State-of-The-Art manufacturing plants are designed on real-time monitoring and control systems to track the progress of production and identify any deviations from the plan. These systems empower us to take proactive measures to address issues promptly, minimizing downtime and waste.
