Smart Manufacturing Challenges

Launch Complexities: Vehicles are launching with shorter timelines, higher number of vendors and with frequent changes midstream​

Lack of Manufacturing Standards: Suppliers are forced to adopt different control standards for each vehicle manufacturer lowering their ability to leverage lessons learned and deliver a consistent solution overall.

Constant Vehicle Refresh: Vehicles are going through frequent redesigns​

Innovation Adoption: With continual fragmented​​ advancements in automotive manufacturing there is a skills gap in overall process knowledge.​​
