Just another day at the office!

30th November 2012

This allows intricate part control and also ensures the OEM’s launch team can communicate clearly with the part suppliers regarding quality, suitability and any modifications to the model.

However, once the ‘launch to series’ element of the project begins, the associated parts then need to be integrated into the plants current on-site logistics activity and process areas.

The whole transfer project was planned and delivered by a 7 man project team within a tight 3 week timescale. Despite the comparatively short transitional time-frame, to go-live the Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive project team invested heavily in planning, testing and evaluating the associated logistics processes to ensure the integration was seamless and deliverable on the day of model launch.

“We were requested to support the integration of approximately 260 new parts types into the current logistics activity. This included the integration of two brand new Just-in-Sequence logistics processes, as well as major changes to an existing JIS process. It’s critical that we limit any potential impact of the revised operational activity and minimise production disruption.”

“I am pleased to relay that the launch of the new model variation commenced on-time and successfully within the OEM’s requirements.”
