Innovation and collaborative, synchronized program management for new programs
Today, manufacturers are building multiple car models, along with their associated trim levels, in a single assembly line. Managing this complex mixed-model production process presents an enormous challenge for automakers as more complex vehicles need to be manufactured. With our digital manufacturing solutions, you can perform early evaluation of cycle time, estimate budgets and analyze assembly costs. Our solutions offer capabilities such as line balancing, enterprise process planning, throughput analysis and resource planning. With these tools, you can reduce engineering change orders (ECOs) and increase final assembly productivity.

By connecting the manufacturing enterprise through a digital thread with our solutions, you can optimize the digital factory to support the Smart Factory of the future.
For final assembly process planning and BOM management our solutions supports manufacturing planning of mixed-model scenarios, and provides complete visibility to product, process, and plant requirements across global production facilities.
Our manufacturing resource library helps you automatically select the best tools and equipment for specific assembly operations, and check for process constraints early in the design stages. For layout design and throughput optimization our solution helps you collaborate with 3D design and simulation tools to find the best plant layout and equipment locations.
You can analyze and validate assembly process feasibility and simulation of all aspects of final assembly processes for final assembly simulation and process validation. With our shop floor solution, you can reduce production errors and rework, as well as improve schedule accuracy, by providing up-to-date work instructions to the shop floor.
