ABSTRACT OF THE FINAL THESIS

Improvement of the IC-Bending-Process for wheel speed sensors according

to the guidelines of Bosch Production System (BPS)
In a period in which upgrading old facilities and solutions on the market are extremely
expensive, choosing and implementing solutions for these facilities is a real challenge for
engineers. A new invest in newer technology isn`t always the only way to improve the
performances of facilities, clear guidelines in logistics, production, planning etc. being needed
so called production systems.
This final thesis follows the implementation of lean production components from Bosch
Production System (BPS), which have as a goal a much clear visualization of process
improvements, - the continuous improvement process. It`s presented the context in which
production system had appeared, their developing and the diversification of tools that are part
of this systems, focusing especially on Bosch production system and implementation of BPS
tools in the development of a new plant.
Next step guides us on the road that follows the implementation of continuous improvement
process in Bosch Rexroth Blaj. This part is divided in: determine which of the processes is a
problem, data collect and analyze, choosing the best strategy and its implementation.
With the help of statistical tools like capabilities and SPC and also management quality tool
like Ysikawa diagram the problem of the process was determined, solved and the process
improved.
The subject of this work can be implemented immediately not just in Bosch, but in other
plants and industries where the production and quality issues are searched to be solved by
simple but intelligent methods.
