ENVIRONMENTAL → Productivity Value Stream Mapping VSM is an example of a Group CI tool. It helps define, analyse and optimise information and material flow throughout a given process. VSM also provides an overview of constraints and delays in a process, allowing the relevant stakeholders to investigate, as well as identify areas for improvement and correction in a timely manner. iMaP Automation The iMaP (Intelligent Mapping and Profiling) machine deployed at our Aerospace Engines workshop helps reduce engine vibrations in flight. It does this by automating engine blade weighing, profile measurement, part number capture, and blade sorting and distribution. Data collected is used for further analysis including compressor and turbine efficiency and vibration analysis. iMaP automation has enabled estimated savings of more than 2,000 manhours annually for CFM56-5B & 7B engine MRO. Additive Manufacturing We leveraged Additive Manufacturing (AM) to produce design-optimised parts for our customers within a more sustainable manufacturing ecosystem. AM effectively enables low-quantity, high-mix production, allowing us to produce near-to-shape products on demand and at locations close to our customers. This helps to greatly reduce waste, transport time and costs, enabling a leaner and more efficient supply chain. ST Engineering’s AM Community of Practice continues to promote adoption of AM across the Group.
