Pop in the Job – I’m particularly excited about my work:
Strengthening and transforming the FLOTT brand as part of my responsibility as the 5th generation of this family business.
A family-owned and traditional company with start-up character – How agile methods optimize business processes and make a new beginning possible.
The company Arnz FLOTT GmbH Werkzeugmaschinen is managed today in the 5th generation; However, its existence was threatened almost 12 years ago; It came to a new foundation under Arnz FLOTT GmbH Werkzeugmaschinen.
The focus of the first years after the restart: the development of the Plus Generation drilling machines. The “Beetle” was replaced. A family of drilling machines (small, medium and large format) was successively developed according to the principles of the modular system and a platform strategy. A user baseline survey was analyzed with the A-suppliers, an external engineering company. The customer requirements for the modern drilling machine were analyzed or prioritized.
A 2nd focus was on the efficient design of the assembly process at the Bökerbau site in Remscheid. Manual workbooks were replaced by an information system with a link to the ERP. The finished message is sent directly to the workstation. With the help of an input mask, the data of the acceptance protocol is stored centrally.
The service is supported with a CRM system. In addition, a remote diagnostic system is used via a help platform. The goal is to get the customer as “transparent” as possible regarding his installed FLOTT machine tools. A knowledge database helps to match common errors or problems and to provide a recipe for elimination as quickly as possible by means of workflow.
