Electric vehicles will gain a significant market share within the next decade. Therefore, the automotive industry faces challenges regarding increasing number of units as well as technology uncertainty. To address these challenges production systems have to be developed that provide volume flexibility and reduce cost. It is essential to provide companies with planning methods that have the ability...
Incremental improvement of conventional traction drive technologies, product architectures, process chains and production technologies are nearly pushed to their limits. The small efforts out of extensive optimization endeavors do not lead into essential customer value any more, as efficiency cannot be increased recognizably and cost reductions vanish amongst overall drivetrain-, battery- and vehicle...
Producing companies for electric traction engines used in electric cars are faced with new challenges as production volumes and market demands change frequently. Missing standards in the product and production development process itself increase the expenses for development and production of an electric engine. As 70% of the product costs are determined by the product development and still generated...
Manufacturers of electric vehicles face the difficult challenge to adjust proper production systems, facilities and technologies. The market is developing (regulations, policies and new competitors) and today's small volumes could increase fast, so that today's production systems might no longer be reasonable. This paper illustrates the necessity of transformable production technologies regarding...
Production companies in high-wage countries face growing complexity in their production conditions due to increasing variance and shorter product lifecycles. To enable the needed flexibility in production with respect to short-term changes, factory planning has to be transparent in such a way that the effects on production are traceable. Therefore, a modular planning approach combined with a continuous...
