Opel : Eisenach Plant, Germany
Press parts are bought from GM or other suppliers. Services are outsourced as much as possible. Maintenance, engineering, services as catering and security are provided by local suppliers.
The assembly is kept lean as well, with lean materials principals in place. High area productivity characterizes the assembly line.
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.
As in many other GM/Opel plants, seats are delivered in line sequence by automatic transportation, delivered directly to the location at the line, where the seats are mounted.
