CURRENT OPERATIONS
Today, Proactor is a team of 47 high-performing and committed employees and the operations have been steadily growing with a strong track record in delivery reliability, quality, and safety aspects. Proactor operates in a close partnership with Wärtsilä and delivers managed services including engine assembly, engine module subassembly and engine final assembly and finishing. All the services are provided with fixed pricing to drive the productivity and continuous improvement. Proactor is now accountable ensuring that every Wärtsilä generating set and main engine manufactured in Vaasa is lifted on time and in quality for transportation to the final Customer destination. Proactor has added genuine flexibility to the production floors with multi-skilled personnel. Assemblers are working and moving across different departments, depending on the production load. Versatile assembly activities have been seen also rewarding from the assemblers’ point of view, while it has benefitted all sides by adding flexibility to the assembly operations.
INDUSTRIALIZATION AND VISUALIZATION BY FLIQ
We are also developing a new lean MES system together with Wärtsilä and FliQ. The ongoing production digitalization pilot is conducted within engine finishing activities, where Proactor has developed and tested a
new operational model for: 1. Integration of work planning 2. Work execution reporting (using tablet & mobile applications) 3. Production progress monitoring The goal is to increase the efficiency and quality of the engine finishing activities by enabling comprehensive production data collection and utilization, decreasing the number of deviations and making the production status more visual and transparent for all stakeholders.
FROM PRODUCTION FACILITIES TO SITE
In addition to the services provided in Vaasa, Proactor has been actively supporting Wärtsilä in multiple project sites. A team of experienced Proactorians have been erecting and commissioning a power plant in Germany. Cooperation with the Wärtsilä Energy Business colleagues has been seamless during the project. "I am very satisfied with the cooperation we have. Proactor has been able to provide flexible solutions to our needs and their personnel are experienced and motivated." says Stefan Slotte, Wärtsilä Project Manager, Gasmotoren Heizkraftwerk Reick project. Proactor is also supporting Wärtsilä with power plant project in Guyana and helping Wärtsilä Services in other special projects in Finland.
