The assembly is kept lean as well, with lean materials principals in place. High area productivity characterizes the assembly line. The car sequence for the assembly is set-up between paint and assembly by using a car buffer wit about 300 places.
Access is random and allows to reach every body to every time.
Modules are separated from the main line and assembled and delivered like a fish bone layout. The door module is assembled along the main line. Very short and very efficient, only 30 m are needed to assemble the whole module and deliver it back to the car. Material supply is organized by KanBan and the material is delivered into receiving areas via docking stations, which are placed around the whole assembly building.
