Automotive manufacturing operations face risks that sometimes go unaddressed leading to missed production targets, safety incidents and vehicle recalls.<br>What can negatively impact your business are the continuous threat, safety hazards, and aging assets. Moreover, security issues can impact revenues, plants, intellectual property, employee performance, vehicle quality. <br>Efforts towards managing and preventing risks can keep your business as well as your reputation intact along with controlled industrial automation infrastructure. <br>How Risk Management Can Assure Safety and Quality<br>Focusing of Three Types of Cs<br>Since safety is the key for any business to continuously scale, still many enterprises see it as an exorbitant affair to make. A survey was made and found out that best-in-class manufacturers defined top 20% of aggregate performance scorers found to achieve higher OEE and less unscheduled downtime and less than half degradation in the performance (Aberdeen Group Research).<br>Hence, the most common and best practices used to offer best in class safety were grouped into three Cs,<br>Culture <br>Compliance <br>Capital<br>These contemporary safety measures can help stakeholders to avoid shutting down machines for safety reasons during the occurrence of any issue.<br>Get Better Visibility through Quality<br>Businesses are processing to deliver the quality customer are looking for, hence automotive production works on increasing targets and workforce to improve quality.<br>With the help of real-time information visibility, one can maintain quality. This can be implemented through modern manufacturing execution system (MES) software. This software can improve quality management while reducing process variability by harnessing the long-buried data.<br>Moreover, you can fetch new insights into your processes, production events, and quality information. Many companies use MES within applications as an error-proofing, allowing you to create an enforceable workflow allowing you to verify workers and building vehicle assemblies and sub-assemblies to specification which again improves your first-pass quality.<br>Assessing Assets and Risks <br>Software outdate is one of the major issues and reason behind downtime and deprived productivity. The best way to deal is through proactive life-cycle automotive risk management. This identifies outdated software that can cause serious risks and facilitate easier Maintainance of legacy equipment in order to access the spare parts. <br>Start your assessment with assets. An experienced engineer can help you by collecting the baseline of hardware and software data.<br>A base evaluation service is available to install for more efficient results. It collects and aggregates the data obtained from all sources and provides a report which in turn guides dealing with critical existing risks. <br>In-Depth Security<br>A securely to and fro of data from one machine to another gives you the power to say connected.
