Technical capability within the manufacturing route

Assembly and machine building

Assembly and machine building as an execution technique for components, modules and machines, with controlled interfaces, assembly sequence, inspection and agreed handover.

The technique

What are assembly and machine building?

Assembly combines components in an agreed sequence to form a module or machine. Interfaces, accessibility during installation and checks along the way determine how assembly is prepared, performed and handed over.

The customer solution determines delivery; this technique describes controlled execution of the agreed assembly.

This technique is not a second machine-building proposition; product scope, own or partner work and delivery are confirmed within the chosen customer solution.

Process and approach

Execute the agreed assembly under control

Preparation, execution and handover remain linked to the order’s product scope.

Execution remains controlled when components, interfaces, sequence and delivery boundary are organised beforehand as one assembly route.

In practice

Aircraft maintenance transport trolley

Douna developed and built a custom transport and storage trolley for safely moving and storing high-quality aircraft components.

The approach

The steps in the process

Check the assembly basis

Components, interfaces, available information and missing decisions are assessed in advance.

Prepare execution

Sequence, accessibility, tools and inspection points are tailored to the agreed scope.

Perform inspection and handover

Inspection, documentation and handover are carried out within the delivery boundary confirmed for the project.
