Gross Schaltschrankbau manufactures electrical assemblies and control cabinets on a recurring basis according to approved documents and defined quality requirements. Structured workflows, documented testing and controlled change management form the basis for consistent results – from series ramp-up to ongoing delivery.
Suitable orders
Six types of order that can be handled cost-efficiently in this model. Which one applies determines ramp-up, test scope and delivery rhythm.
Identical control cabinets
Repeat production to approved documentation with a constant build and defined test characteristics.
Electrical assemblies
Assembled and wired units for integration into machines, systems or customers' own end products.
Variant series
Defined versions on a common basis, controlled via unambiguous bills of materials, options and revision statuses.
Small and medium series
Limited quantities based on common documentation – cost-efficient even without large-scale production.
Recurring call-offs
Predictable production and delivery based on agreed forecasts, call-offs or framework agreements.
Re-production
Production of existing versions, provided documentation, component availability and approval status are reliable.
Production workflow
Repeatability is not created during assembly, but before it: in the documents. As long as revision, bill of materials and variant status are not unambiguous, every repetition produces a new deviation.
That is why every batch starts with a check of the documents – even the tenth. Changes are assessed and implemented at a defined point, not in the middle of a running batch.
Material is the second lever. Long-lead items, discontinued components and approved alternatives are clarified before the start so that production is not held up by a single item.
Testing is carried out against the agreed characteristics, not against gut feeling. Anything that stands out is fed back in documented form – and does not find its way into the next unit as an unrecorded workshop fix.
01
Reconcile revision, BOM, variants and approvals.
02
Procure, inspect and provide components.
03
Prepare mechanical parts and cables.
04
Populate, wire and label assemblies.
05
Check and document defined characteristics.
06
Pack and provide approved units.
Scope of services
Reproducible quality
Series quality is the result of unambiguous documents, trained workflows, defined test characteristics and fully controlled changes.
Change management
New revisions are assessed, approved and introduced at a defined point in time.
Series ramp-up
A clean transition from prototype or first article to series production reduces queries and prevents unresolved assumptions from being multiplied.
Delivery capability
Three factors determine whether a delivery date holds. They are clarified before series start, not at the first call-off.
Procurement
Take approved components, alternatives and potential long-lead items into account at an early stage.
Demand planning
Agree forecast, call-off rhythm, safety stock and required delivery dates.
