Challenge

What are the major challenges when automotive shop floors combine components from many suppliers?

  • Combining components from multiple suppliers drives up inventory costs, since carmakers must stock and manage many different spare parts
  • Multiple supplier systems complicate maintenance, as technicians need different tools and know-how for each component
  • Inconsistent machine interfaces and guidelines make it harder for shopfloor workers to operate and switch between machines
