Process Optimization NR: 001 Main Cable Handling (De-Winder)
Present State Description Sketch Target Concept Description
1. Loading
Set of Main Cables are
loading and mounting of

main cables in Takt D/E  supply of Main Cables
loaded as one roller
on pallets
package into free space
stowing of main cables
for transport in Takt H  moving m/c with crane
of transport trailer
onto turntable
before transport stand
 push m/c into barrel
is loaded
 Main Cables can be de-
2. Stowing
winded without crane
 moving m/c onto
for mounting and
turntable by hand
stowing
 Push m/c into the barrel

Realisation of Target Concept Status Realisation Factors Notes

 Design Test-De-Winder  Invest for De-winder and
 Build and test it, modify if required adaptation of transport
 Design, build De-Winder trailer
 Specify transport trailer considering room for de-winder device  No crane usage
 Process Training for operators (train all operators to same  Saving: 1 operator for
process) minimum 35 min / nacelle
 Changes in Process

Process Optimization NR: 005 Cable Harness at Top Box
Present State Description Sketch Target Concept Description

 cables are connected to Pre-wiring frame in

shape of Bottom
 only few cable harnesses
the Top Box and cut Canopy have to be installed
nearly to length
Top Box
instead of lots of single
2 x to
cables
 cables have to be to Barrel Gear Box  cable harnesses marked
sorted, arranged and in different colours for
installed in the nacelle Yaw Motors/
Sensors
easy identification
 cables have to be cut to Pump Hydraulic  cables are cut to correct
correct length and cable length
unit
Yaw Motor/
ends to be fitted Sensors A9 Box  cable ends prepared

Realisation of Target Concept Status Realisation Factors Notes

 design and manufacture harness preparation frame with  Invest for pre-wiring - Further improvements in
hydraulic unit connection dummy frame Top Box preparation:
 design new Top Box Subassembly work station  Transfer of a part of the  Supply of cables in sets
