Abstract

The proposed project focuses customer-oriented development of complex manufacturing systems. It has been identified that the classical relationship between the customer and supplier of complex manufacturing machinery is not adequate any more and does not assure optimal solutions. This relationship causes several problems related to misunderstandings among parties, non-customized solutions, slow reactions to demands and disturbances, inadequate availability of systems, etc. It is clear that there is no room for such problems in the European automotive industry any more. In the project proposed research and development will be directed into research and development of distributed manufacturing structures. The results will be implemented in an automotive supply chain. The automotive supply chains play an important role in the Slovene economy. The research will be applied on development, operations and maintenance of manufacturing cells for die-casting of aluminum and magnesium components for automotive industry. New virtual working structures based on virtual project teams will be introduced. The teams will be composed of competent members from a customer and suppliers. The team building up will be triggered by orders for new systems and/or by disturbances, malfunctions or failures in operations of the implemented systems. These events will result in emergent networked structures operating in the Word Wide Web. Beside this the building blocks for data acquisition and evaluation will be developed and integrated in the die-casting manufacturing cell. These will include acquisition of work order data and related events, collection of process parameters and product quality data. The building blocks will be integrated in the die-casting manufacturing cells and connected to the World Wide Web and thus available to the virtual teams in decision making processes.
