Assembly and structural planning to modernize an automotive factory
Category: Engineering
Process: Production
Introduction
When a new generation of vehicles is produced, state-of-the-art technology is called for. The sheer scale of a project of this size could be seen in the amount of planning a major vehicle manufacturer from southern Germany had to undertake: Two entire assembly halls had to be gutted, reorganized and equipped with the very latest fittings and systems technology. The company hired external assistance for the work.
They were looking for an experienced and competent engineering and planning partner and found this in IndustrieHansa.
Solution: Working with suppliers, construction companies and engineering consultants, IndustrieHansa set up an 17-man team to plan and complete the redevelopment work in 3 years.
Puncture points
Benefits
IndustrieHansa's engineers and planning specialists planned and implemented all stages of the process chain from the first cycle to the vehicle leaving the assembly hall. Implementation of the latest technologies, processes and methods has meant that volumes have risen and cycle times have been cut. The production capacities gained have formed the basis for the manufacturer to produce other vehicle derivatives.
