煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　菲爾創納過濾嘴產品公司執行了一項全球機器戰略，通過升級和對新的先進器械的投資優化自己的機器技術。

　　在對市場發展趨勢進行了全面的分析和對公司包含著9個生產基地數百臺機器的機器技術進行審核之后，菲爾創納開展了這項全球戰略。

　　菲爾創納過濾嘴產品公司的全球業務董事馬丁·達德利說：“在越來越呈現動態化的市場，我們擁有不僅可以滿足客戶當前需求，也能滿足他們未來要求的生產能力和生產設施，這一點十分重要。”

　　菲爾創納過濾嘴產品公司在一份新聞稿中說：“最近幾年來，煙草市場越來越把注意力集中在質量方面，這使得很多客戶縮緊了他們對質量和性能公差的容忍度。”

　　“這種發展趨勢會繼續下去，而同時，又一種趨勢是在更大范圍內的產品的訂單量會減少。”

　　“除了這項戰略之外，菲爾創納還通過投資一些領先的機械技術，加強自己生產創新性特種過濾嘴的能力。它還執行了一項升級現有機器的計劃，這些機器的參數要求它具有以自動化程度和程序控制得到加強為特色的高速現代機器。”

　　“最近引進的新機械涉及傳統的、雙重創新設計的過濾嘴的生產，包括高速彈性雙重及三重結合機器，生產Sensation?過濾嘴的高速機器，生產特殊過濾嘴的機器（包括醋酸鹽纖維和ROA型），先進的聯機過濾棒質量檢查設備。”

　　全球機器戰略是建立在菲爾創納2005年為鼓勵員工提交改進建議，分享最佳技術的持續的改進計劃基礎之上。

Filtrona Gears up to Market Trends by Implementing Global Machine Strategy

　　Filtrona Filter Products has implemented a global machine strategy to optimise its machine technologies through upgrades and investment in new state-of-the-art machinery.

　　The global strategy has been introduced following a comprehensive analysis of market trends and a review of the company's machine technologies, encompassing hundreds of machines across nine production sites.

　　"In an increasingly dynamic market, it is essential that we have the production capabilities and capacity to not only meet the current needs of our customers but also their future requirements," said global operations director, Martin Dudley.

　　"In recent years, the tobacco market has seen an increased focus on quality which has led many customers to tighten their quality and functional tolerances," the company said in a press note.

　　"This trend is set to continue alongside a move towards smaller quantity orders across a wider range of specifications…"
?
　　"As part of the strategy, Filtrona has enhanced its capability to produce innovative special filters by investing in a number of leading machine technologies. It has also implemented a programme to upgrade existing machines, where specifications require it, with modern high-speed machines featuring enhanced automation and process control."
?
　　"New machinery recently introduced covers the production of conventional, dual and innovatively designed filters, including high-speed flexible dual and triple combining machines, high-speed machinery for Sensation? filters, new machinery to produce special filters (including Shaped Acetate & ROA), and state-of-the-art on-line filter rod quality inspection equipment."

　　The global machine strategy builds on the foundations of Filtrona's continuous improvement programme, which was introduced in 2005 to encourage employees to submit improvement suggestions and share best-practice techniques. Enditem
