Workshop with TAU and LEANWARE
Cost-effective manufacturing of Nb3Sn magnets for HE-LHC and FCC could be achieved through optimization of HL-LHC magnet manufacturing performance using key performance indicators (KPI) such as cost and quality.
To achieve KPI-driven performance optimization based on real data from HL-LHC magnet production, a continuous production monitoring platform known as Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is one possible option considering the requirements of the production. The MES implementation could be assisted by Leanware (Finland) to provide functionalities such as, resource monitoring, magnet component traceability within facility, production scheduling and execution, and support in-process quality control.
The MES, Bayesian Networks and dimension reduction based analytics methods enable cost-driven optimization and accurate cost-drivers identification in Nb3Sn magnet production.
