PRESS RELEASE      /

IBS AG Supports Process Management at JOSEF REES KG ZERSPANUNGSTECHNIK  

- Further expansion of quality and production management planned for 2012

- Josef Rees KG Zerspanungstechnik is holder of the Bosch Supplier Award

Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 25th January 2012 - Independent, owner-managed Josef
Rees KG Zerspanungstechnik produces precision turned parts in medium and
large lot sizes in its 2,500m² production facilities at its plant in
Wehingen (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany). Its corporate philosophy is firmly
focused on precision and reliability.

Rees KG Zerspanungstechnik received the Bosch Supplier Award in 2011.

In order to fulfill its high quality standards, the company has developed
its own management system for continuous process optimization. This
comprises the following:

- Lean Production with principles and measures for efficient planning and
organisation of the entire supply chain (value-added)

- Lean Management with methods for continuous process organisation and
improvement

- Lean Maintenance for the efficient use of production processes with
value-stream-oriented failure management and plant development

The process management system at Josef Rees KG Zerspanungstechnik is
supported by the use of IBS software solutions for industrial quality and
production management. In doing so, IBS:MES supports the company with the
transparent and complete mapping of all production and process-relevant
information at production level.

´The good thing is, our employees live by the Lean mode of thought and are
able to identify with the system, not only in each of the individual areas
but also without any insistance from me. This is not least due to the
integrated nature of the IBS solution´, says Thomas Rees, Managing Director
of Josef Rees KG Zerspanungstechnik. ´We are planning a further expansion
of our process management with the support of the IBS solution´, adds
Thomas Rees.

´In modern metal processing a control or inspection step is carried out
after almost every processing step, to enable the immediate elimination of
any defective parts. This information and transparency is created by a
holistic, integrated software solution´, says Volker Schwickert, Executive
Vice President and Director of Sales and Marketing at IBS AG. ´The IBS
solutions enable Josef Rees KG Zerspanungstechnik to achieve higher machine
capacities whilst maintaining the same high quality´, adds Volker
Schwickert.
