P. DEF.: CONTINUOUS WELDING CAPACITY FOR AN ONGOING SERIAL PROGRAM
Long-term support with a stable eight-person team across two shifts
Overview
The challenge
Initial situation: The serial program ran at a consistently high demand level with both planned and unplanned load peaks.
Bottleneck: The internal staffing base could not permanently cover extra shifts, absences and vacation periods.
Quality requirement: The program required repeatable quality, clear traceability and highly reliable execution.
Project risk: Staff turnover or open vacancies would have had a noticeable impact on production rhythm.
Our approach
Detailed intake: Before launch, we captured demand by line, process, shift model and weekly volume in detail.
Phased team build-up: The deployment team was ramped in two waves so production could be supported quickly and then stabilised.
Structured onboarding: Certificates, access processes and points of contact were prepared clearly before the first day on site.
Continuous deployment steering: Backfill planning, reserve coverage and quality feedback were coordinated centrally throughout the assignment.
Measured results
The client gained plannable capacity without having to build a permanent internal team. The strongest result was the reliability of staffing over a long-running production phase.
