Reduce production costs, increase output
Initial Situation
The product design of the charging stations causes assembly difficulties in final production, contributing to high manufacturing costs.
Work content in the paced assembly line is poorly balanced, lacking transparency and standardized process descriptions.
The performance of the German and US sites differs significantly, and there is no common basis for benchmarking.
Solution
3P workshops for product and process design using prototypes; development of the target process and layout with a strong focus on value creation.
Creation of work instructions and training of employees.
Deviation and root cause analysis, tracking of corrective actions, and process stabilization (including FMEA).
Results
Lead time reduced by 60%
Manufacturing costs reduced by 25%
Standardized process documentation established
Foundation for benchmarking created
