JJS Uses Lean To Cut Time, Cost And Complexity

JJS possesses a special proficiency in non-electronics based precision mechanical assembly techniques, known as mechatronics. Added to PCB, cable, electrical and system assembly, this activity represents an integrated manufacturing service beyond basic PCB assembly. JJS Electronics Business is focused on diverse prototype through to medium-volume assembly work. Naturally, complex mechanical assemblies demand high levels of skill.

At JJS, this is the product of a lean process that includes the continuous breakdown of all build procedures with the objective to 'de-skill' each element to boost the scalability and consistency with which complex electro-mechanical systems can be produced. In the context of line balancing, this includes time trials and the analysis of work content present in each process step. NPI and short-run manufacturing projects demand a special balance of set-up and production skills and are not conducive to extensive and potentially unreliable assembly documentation.

JJS has developed a training process that promotes step-by-step analysis supported by pictorial guidance, ideal for assembly operations involving mixed model lines. JJS also rewrites customer documentation as standard, incorporating BoM analysis to process map and balance workflow. Other lean practices include an integrated closed-loop test strategy focused on fault prevention rather than repair.
