Supplier development and capacitating for body shop lines' planning/designing by means of Digital Factory concepts 2010-36-0176
The pressure to reduce the life cycle of products, as a way to
keep business maintenance and competitiveness of automotive
companies, has stimulated the searching for solutions to shorten
the long implementation timing of new manufacturing lines.
The use of Digital Factory concepts at Volkswagen of Brazil
became itself an alternative for better assessment of products and
process, thus shortening the installation period and reducing
correction activities due to assertively found solutions.
The development of methodology and the structure of those
concepts have established the necessity of expansion for companies
which work in partnership on activities of planning and project
designing of body shop lines. That work plan aims to feature the
communication interfaces between suppliers and Volkswagen of
Brazil, in order to define the basic tools that enable the
information exchange and the qualification process of Suppliers
according to patterns and requirements of the Digital Factory,
already suited for concepts and structures of Volkswagen of Brazil,
which are conducted by the Manufacturing Engineering - Body
Shop.
