WES Manufacturing • Lancé en novembre 2004 le programme WES a pour objectifs sur les 23 usines : • - de réduire les PPM internes de 30% par an • d’augmenter la VA / Personne de 1% par mois • de réduire le Stock / Ventes de 30% par an

WES Engineering Pressure on automotive suppliers continues to increase on: • Quality • Complete on time deliveries • Cost Lean methods are improving performance on the shop floor But most cost, quality and availability performances are set at the engineering stage
WES EngineeringCurrent situation Projects are mostly designed to respond to a set level of demand The cost of ramp-up is supposed to be compensated by a long period of full volume production Aftermarket costs are supposed to be handled differently, with renegotiation with the customer
WES EngineeringReal demand In the current context peak production period can be very short Volumes are likely to fall unexpectedly If labour costs are fixed, this can have a disastrous impact of the project’s profitability Our challenge is to design lines which can have the same productivity regardless of volume levels
Volume Months Difficult continuous improvement to respond to customers’ cost pressures Long aftermarket product life and related issues Bad launches can cost all margin Premature volume drops before payback Engineering cost impact throughout the part’s life
1st case Stamping and assembly of complete derivative steel body structure, including class-A panels and closures Assembly cells designed to produce 1150 cars/week with: • 40 robots (spot welding / handling / gluing / Mag-Mig welding) • 7 hemming machines • 18 welding presses for pre-assembly • 1 3D measurement machine with 2 automatic arms
1st case The plant was designed to produce 1150 cars/week with very limited flexibility The real volumes are very different to the first expectations causing massive troubles to the plant Jan / Nov 04 May 06 June 03
WES engineering3 principles • Mix Flexibility • Flexible Manpower Line • Minimum Technical Solution
Volume Volume Volume Volume Volume OEU waste Months Months Months Months Months Sum of capacity Overall capacity 1st principle: Mix Flexibility No dedicated cells to one vehicleDesign for SMED (<10min)
2nd principle: Flexible Manpower Line 60% drop of Volume = 60% less people Current Volumes 30% drop of Volume = 30% less people 60% increase in Volume = 60% More people U cells to reduce distance and adapt to customer volume
Sliding door mechanismsInitial assembly solution Rollers greasing, assembly and riveting Final assembly for all references Invest: 1282 K€ for 100 pph
Invest: 573 K€ for 53 pph Sliding door mechanismsFinal assembly solution Flexible Manpower Lines defined with Operators and Engineering during Hoshin
3rd principle: Minimum Technical Solution Advantages: • Reduce CAPEX • Prefer variable cost than fixed cost, in case of quantity drop • Ease changes after SOP (Product, Quantity, Quality, Productivity) • Reduce ramp up cost • Simplify maintenance • Allow end of life re-engineering Don’t let the supplier decideThey always answer it’s not cheaper since their profit depend on complexity (% of sales) and since studying simples solutions is harder
Automatic Welding RobotMain Issues Variance: + 21 DFL 5 NOK Dimensions Shortfall of 225 Vehicle / Day
Solution: 2 simple robot cellsInvest: 18 K€ Minimum Technical solution
Temporary solution Possibility: To use manuals tools on the automatic Welding cell Prefer using manual cells rather than automatic cell
Assembly processSeveral solutions studied • Problem: • New product with high quantity forecasted at 1000 per day • Very large and not rigid product • Aspect Quality constraints • Production cell with flexible manpower
1st version Workstations linked to each other Solution proposed by the line builder without any specific demand
2nd version Independent workstations Solution proposed by the line builder without any specific demand
3rd version Independent workstations Solution proposed after meetings with Production and WES people
4th and final version • U shape layout with all Operators inside • Better manpower flexibility • Frontal loading for lower cycle time variability • Price reduced compare to 1st version • Much simpler technology
