Abstract
This paper presents a new approach to identify the causes of errors and to define appropriate measures to improve processes in small batch manufacturing and complex assembly. It includes a description on the state of the art, the procedure for the identification of error causes, the procedure for the definition of measures to improve processes and the implementation of tools/components which support this procedure.
