The Problem

Early in the industrialization process, the project leaders lacked clear transparency of

  • The number of new parts available for the new model and
  • The number of new tools that had been ordered from the tool makers around the world.
  • The progress of the tool builds (first parts of tool available, tools at series location).
  • Timeline of series production at the supplier.

The Solution

  • Created initial report with available data and defined a standard format.
  • Installed a communication process between all affected parties.
  • Gap analysis between BOM and purchasing scopes as a plausibility check.
  • Weekly reporting and tracking of all top issues and risks.
