Cross-Divisional Development of Production Standards

The ever-increasing volatility of the markets and the necessity of increasing flexibility pose a great challenge to the automotive industry.

To respond to this problem, new production strategies, new production concepts and new production standards – in line with Industry 4.0, etc. – have to be developed.

Within the scope of a cross-divisional project, PEC was commissioned with the derivation of a reference model for the factory of the future that contains standardized processes and standardized production concepts, as well as to provide both methodological and substantive support.

Essential project phases were:

• Structuring of suitably agile project organization (use of agile PM methods)
• Performance of ACTUAL analyses
• Substantive processing of TARGET processes and standards for production systems with technical experts
• Documentation of relevant results in a suitable knowledge management system
• Support with the rollout through specific training concepts
