FRONT PAGE SERVICES MODE OF ACTION RELICOMP TAKE CONTACT NEWS Toni Korpela: A job developer starts research 6/15/2016 “I was hired by Relicomp as a method developer in the spring of 2010, but I soon moved on to be a production designer and work manager. In early 2016, the circle closed as I returned full-time to my original job as a method developer. This went well, as the development work benefits from the experience I have gained over the past six years from the company’s various operations. In addition to my studies as a mechanical and production engineering engineer, I can now also take advantage of my training as a job researcher. My work will be challenging and diversified, because I'm dealing with a different work stages and their authors. The purpose is to lead the development of work and products. Through job research, we find out where working time is spent at each stage of work and whether we could do something different to make the work run more efficiently. Here may lie one challenge of my job: how to get all employees to change the way they work if a job step is used to being done in a certain way for a decade. At the same time, we will find out if there are other manufacturing methods or even structures with which our products could be made even simpler and cheaper. We go through the products and product families of different customers and think about whether the structures could be simplified or changed to make them easier to manufacture. However, the emphasis is on the parts in the prototype phase, which makes it easier for both parties to make changes. We start from the paint shop, where we do the thesis to make the work more efficient. The most memorable moment in my work is specifically related to development work, when we were able to halve the production time of a product. The customer participated in the development and by changing, for example, welding and manufacturing methods, as well as using different parts, we finally reached the desired manufacturing time. ” Toni Korpela Method Developer Relicomp Oy More news » Ice RELICOMP OY Teollisuukatu 8, 61300 KURIKKA Phone: +358 20 740 4400 firstname.lastname@relicomp.fi Sales » Production and procurement» Administration »
