Are you looking for a way to make your automotive manufacturing process easier? The answer may lie in the capability maturity model, or the CMM.
Simplifying your manufacturing process can help you streamline production, which can save you money. It can also give you a major advantage over your competition.
Fortunately, at Nova, we have in-house CMM capabilities that streamline manufacturing. Learn about these capabilities and how they benefit your business here.
What Is the Capability Maturity Model?
The CMM is a development model that numerous teams and organizations use today throughout the world.
The model features several stages for a company’s process improvement and performance growth. Let’s go over these stages.
How Nova’s CMM Capabilities Can Help
At Nova, we have a machine for vertical injection molding as well as 26 horizontal ones. Using the CMM, we can find our clients cost-effective and feasible solutions for their plastic injection molding needs.
There are five CMM levels. The initial focus of the CMM involves tracking and controlling existing manufacturing efforts.
The second level involves working proactively toward an overarching objective by ensuring the proper processes and requirements. Attention to integration, standardization, and documentation is important at this level.
The third level involves making processes more uniform, widespread, and efficient. This is followed by the fourth stage: quantitative management.
During the fourth level, attention goes to honing sub-processes. These sub-processes help increase the overall process’s efficiency. That’s because quantitative measures, like statistics, are used to control these sub-processes.
The quantitative measures leads to improved accuracy compared with qualitative measures alone. In this way, processes can be fully controlled and measured.
Finally, at Nova, we use the CMM’s final level, optimization.
During this stage, the focus is on making sure processes are efficient and data-driven. They should also be widespread. In addition, they should be clear and established.
All of this can lead to successful production outcomes for you.
