Supplier Self Audits performed before Jan 1, 2024 do not yet need to be transferred to the new form. #automotive #volkswagen #vda #audits #suppliers #formelQ #quality

Is CKD Assembly the future of automotive manufacturing in Malaysia?

This is the APQP 3rd ed. & Control Plan 1st ed Frequently Asked Question, which can be accessed at https://lnkd.in/gKiCHJF6 Be ready for new chapter.... Count down starts... At this time, General Motors implementation date is six months for the release date of the documents. Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis have agreed they will accept use of the new APQP and Control Plan immediately after publication, since nothing in the new documents conflict with the APQP 3rd edition. Let's prepare for the best. The price is expensive for Indonesia.... 😃 Remember for shipping cost which could be double or tripple from that... 😃

Last week, I convened a group of Industrial Engineers and Continuous Improvement Professionals from manufacturing plants across Adient Seat Structures & Mechanisms' México at SS&M Tlaxcala. Alongside them were members of Adient America's Lean Manufacturing team, led by Lawana Fair, for a workshop on optimizing and rebalancing the workload of our Material Handlers and Water Spiders. It was fascinating to explore how even in a plant with minimal waste, there are still opportunities to streamline functions and collaboratively discover new ways to organize the replenishment of raw materials to their points of use. This process of refining what already works well embodies the principles of Continuous Improvement and Operational Excellence. As we gear up to onboard new programs in the near term, these preparatory analyses empower us to implement Lean processes that operate without waste from the first piece produced through the entire program lifecycle. A big 'Thank You' to the SS&M México team for their ongoing support in facilitating these exercises during the launch preparation phases. And gratitude to our Corporate Team for taking the time to visit, walk through the process, and share the best practices observed in other Business Units within our company.

Many companies are just talking about their policy on continuous changes and innovations, but if you ask some numbers, they would send you to the procedures that few ever read. Toyota has a 60yrs old Creative Idea Suggestion System, and if you look at the table in this link, the total number of suggestions surpasses 40 million by August 2011. So, here is a way to improve your company every single day and how to apply Kaizen. https://lnkd.in/d4UJAfcn
