Vestas has established a ‘Prototype Team’, a dedicated group of technicians to validate new products and processes. The team provides a link between the Production Business Unit and the shop floor, trialling new products and processes and providing feedback.
To ensure the team had the right skills, Vestas put them through a range of training courses, including the National Physical Laboratory’s (NPL) Dimensional Measurement training. This is helping the team evaluate new technologies and processes, and identify the best ones for the job and how to implement them. The training has given them the confidence to make full reports and recommendations back to the engineers. This helps iron out problems and ensures that new approaches are rolled out to the shop floor seamlessly.
