Irène FOGLIERINI underlines here several important points that can make a business, a collaboration, a success or a failure if the people involved do not have the right level of information.

1/ First of all, work on a forecast is nowadays essential even if the exercise may seem complicated. Why? The lead times for the supply of raw materials or primary parts (foundry, injection, etc.) have an unfortunate tendency to increase. Secondly, the load rates of processing and/or assembly machines have also become significant at the risk of neglecting preventive maintenance to ensure production. Finally, the implementation of a forecast offers the possibility of creating buffer stocks - ultimate shields against the increase in manufacturing times. BIBUS France has understood this phenomenon and works intensively with its customers to offer short and controlled lead time solutions to meet production needs or seasonal peaks. This organization allows us to provide an average service rate of more than 95% on all our solutions built, developed and assembled by multi-continental sources - more than 12,000 deliveries/year. Exchanges between the various protagonists are important, but it is not without relying on the machine. By "machine", we mean ERP software capable of providing alerting and decision-making tools, always with a view to improving our service rates.

2/ Another aspect becomes essential in the supply chain: Flow optimization ! The parts are there, available but they do not arrive at the right place or in time to feed an assembly machine for example. What could be more frustrating for a line manager than a machine that stops due to a lack of raw materials! The cost of this non-compliance process has significant direct and indirect impacts on productivity, additional costs and the risk of customer dissatisfaction, which in some cases can result in financial penalties. BIBUS France, in partnership with OMRON, offers sustainable and quickly operational solutions to optimize your flows.  => Mobile and Collaborative Robotics. Work carried out by an operator that does not generate any added value is a cost borne by the company. Robotics offers the assurance of having the machine perform arduous and/or non-value-added tasks. Depending on the degree of automation desired, a complete fleet of Mobile Robots is an assurance of achieving the productivity objectives imposed by the principals, investors, shareholders!
