Case Overview
This case focused on manufacturing production line design for mobile phone and electronic sub-supplies for the automotive industry. The goal was to develop a modular concept that improved engineering flow, simplified implementation, and supported faster commissioning across a complex industrial setup.
Industry
Automotive Manufacturing
Scope
Factory setup, production flow and project management
Role
Lead consultant and project responsible
Focus
Efficiency, structure and execution
The Challenge
Reducing time and complexity in production system development.
Typical issues:
– Missing information between sales and engineering
– Slow handover between phases
– Inefficient implementation on-site
The Solution
A modular production line design concept was developed, combining a new sales concept, engineering structure, and control system setup into one more efficient model.
The solution was built around standard modules, drag-and-drop style layout planning, module-based pricing, and consistent interfaces. This created a more streamlined process from early quotation work to implementation and production line commissioning.
Key elements of the solution
Modular build system for faster system configuration
Drag-and-drop style layout planning
Module-based pricing for faster quotation work
Standardized interfaces across modules
Separate control units that could be commissioned independently
Pre-commissioned modules for faster on-site startup
The Result
Time from offer to SOP was reduced by 40–50%.
The modular manufacturing production line design created measurable improvements across the entire process — from quotation and engineering to implementation and commissioning.
Key advantages
The result was a structured and functional production setup, delivered with a strong focus on execution.
01
Faster sales and engineering process with less missing information
02
Faster quotation work through module-based pricing
03
Better layout optimization through modular planning logic
04
Faster implementation through standardized interfaces
05
Faster production line commissioning through pre-commissioned modules
Concept Illustration
The modular setup supported a more structured and flexible production line design, making implementation and commissioning faster and more reliable.
