Client situation & approach
The client is a leading global manufacturer of luxury cars, known worldwide for the prestigiousness of its brand and for the performance and design of its vehicles.
Following their strategic plan, a new industrial plan had to be developed - including the definition of new footprint and flows for the main technological areas including bodyshop, vehicle assembly and logistics.
The management required the new footprint to be digital and state-of-the-art, using the most recent successful Industry 4.0 concepts in order to meet the desired combination of flexibility, quality, capex and opex costs.
EFESO supported by:
- Defining and deploying the industrial plan
- Generating ideas and opportunities, based on industry insights and benchmarking
- Ensuring robustness of the assumptions around overall planning, application of best practices, innovative use cases such as flexible automation in manufacturing and logistics
- Leveraging on EFESO’s international expertise to:
- Organise knowledge sharing session with industrial peers
- Develop simulations models
- Organise suppliers’ innovation sessions
Results
- Industrial Plan developed, with required trade-offs between level of innovation, required capex, alignment with strategic plan and overall timing for implementation of the new footprint
- Developed a library of Use Cases for the assembly and logistics of the future
- Facilitation of the required integrated cross-functional efforts to deliver the industrial plan consistent with necessary overall consistency.
