The innovation department of SCM Group is a competence center that carries out research and development of pre-competitive projects through a process of scouting, feasibility and technology transfer to the product development offices of the entire SCM Group.
Topics
The general aim of this project is to find alternatives to intermediate panels commonly used in the nesting process.
The project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) will be the following:
Evaluation of the general request, in order to understand what advantages for our clients may be brought by using something different from the sacrificial panel and/or by changing the nesting process;
Study of the nesting process, in order to determine the best technical specifications;
Define of some alternative ways to manage the nesting process and/or alternatives to the use of intermediate panels.
