There is increasing pressure to streamline operations and integrate multi-powertrain models into a single line assembly process. So, production flexibility and agility has become key to optimising efficiency, productivity and reducing costs. This need for flexibility also extends through the supply chain with tier suppliers also managing system and component manufacture across multiple powertrain options and volumes.
Proving invaluable in developing and delivering more flexible production operations, in this AMS livestream will explore how manufacturers are deploying digital tools to optimise current production lines for flexibility and futureproof planned facilities. Integrating these tools into human workforce operations is also a vital part of the flexibility drive. We will discuss how this can be developed and improved.
AMS editors, manufacturing leaders and experts will also examine how AI enhanced automation can support mixed-model manufacturing, minimise downtime, and adapt to evolving customer needs.
Key focus areas:
- Creating real-time visibility of operations to optimise flexibility in manufacturing
- Developing more efficient human machine interfaces to boost flexibility
- Scaling multi-platform/powertrain production with flexible processes
- Case studies from leading OEMs and suppliers
- Brown field vs green field development – creating a flexible footprint
