R. FAHRZEUGBAU: ALUMINIUM WELDERS FOR BODY SHELL PRODUCTION DURING RAMP-UP
Additional capacity for takt-based aluminium assemblies under high quality requirements
Overview
The challenge
Initial situation: The ramp-up of a new series significantly increased demand for qualified aluminium welding staff.
Bottleneck: The internal team could not cover takt production peaks and rework in parallel.
Quality requirement: Repeatable execution, clean documentation and reliable integration into the serial logic were decisive.
Project risk: Missing capacity would have led directly to takt losses in body-shell production.
Our approach
Detailed intake: Assemblies, material thicknesses, takt sequences and shift demand were analysed jointly in advance.
Targeted qualification match: Only aluminium welders with experience in serial manufacturing environments were deployed.
Clean line integration: The team was integrated in line with takt, sequence and handover points within production.
Ongoing adjustment: Close exchange with production management and work preparation ensured fast reactions to changes.
Measured results
The client stabilised the serial ramp-up without shifting bottlenecks to other lines. The key strength was the rapid integration into a takt-based production environment.
