At the beginning of the specification process, customers typically provide the OEM with the following:
• Desired operating speed
• Labor content
• Product matrix — the range of products to be processed
• Desired changeover times
• Uptime
• Duty cycles i.e. number of shifts and intervals between major maintenance
• Control system compatibility
• Mechanical and electrical integration with up- and down-stream equipment
• Return on Investment
The OEM then identifies one of its core machines to serve as the foundation for the customer's custom order. At this point — the very beginning — the lifecycle viewpoint kicks in.
