Deep Crisis

- During the last 20 years, the automotive sector went through a number of important technological and organizational changes. Around 2000 Fiat falls in a deep crisis, whose roots can be found most of all in the lack of strategic anticipation: its top management was unable to anticipate the change, and its vision of company's and market's evolution was completely inadequate. A different interpretation of strategic anticipation can be proposed if we take into account local actors and local government: strategic anticipation can be recognised here in a quite shared vision of local system's future (position of the region in interna- tional competition, more or less decisive deep presence of automotive vs. "new" sectors, of industrial vs. service occupation ecc.). The most innovative feature of Fiat Auto restructuring is probably the intervention of local public actors (especially the regional and urban governments), in the form of the purchase of Mirafiori's unused areas and in the following constitution of an agency for their management. Even if this intervention was certainly not decisive for the rescue of Fiat, it certainly had a very strong influence in the rescue of Mirafiori plant whose further contraction was at the time very probable because it guaranteed the installation of a new production line in Turin.

And Control

The paper describes one practical implementation of the Digital Factory concept – design of a new production line using modern planning method of virtual testing and control of processes. The project covered graphical facility design, detailed design of operations and material flow simulation. This case study shows facility process planning, commission and in the end finding the optimization rules and corrective actions to increase existing casting line throughput. All phases of the project were carried out using simulation software, duration of the project was 6 months. Simulation software WITNESS has been used for material flow simulation.

Casting Production

To reduce the energy consumption of investment casting production, reduce labor intensity and improve product quality and production efficiency,a investment casting production line of automation and low energy consumption has been researched and designed. The major equipments of the new production line were designed, such as energy-saving roaster, casting conveyor, roasting car,stop-mechanism,off pieces-machine, etc.The annual production capacity of the production line builted is increased by 23%, the rejection rate is reduced by 30%, the average rate of liquid steel products is increased by 5%, the annual supplies and energy saving is 3 times the investment.
