Relocations & industrialization
We accompany plant and production relocations as well as industrialization up to the start of series production – on time, on cost, on quality.
Securing production, shaping the future
Smooth relocation & successful industrialization – without standstill, without risk.
- Production relocation planned, but standstill is not an option?
- New plants or production lines need to be industrialized in a stable and error-free manner?
- An OEM releases a new series and your company has to deliver to the SOP - but processes, capacities and quality assurance have not yet been finalized?
Relocations and industrialization are strategic high-risk projects:
A lack of capacity planning, delays in machine commissioning or a lack of stock can lead to production stoppages, quality problems and massive additional costs.
Tier 1 suppliers in particular are under immense pressure to bring new series into production on time, in the required quality and within the agreed budget (“on time, on cost, on quality”). Any delay can lead to delivery delays, escalations at the OEM and contractual penalties.
T.A.S. FORCE ensures that your relocation & industrialization succeeds perfectly – with minimum risk and maximum efficiency.
Relocation of production - Relocation without standstill.
Why production relocations often fail.
Relocating production is one of the most critical projects in the automotive industry. Without precise planning and operational expertise:
- Lack of inventory build-up, which leads to bottlenecks & delivery failures
- Time delays due to unexpected commissioning problems
- Quality risks due to insufficient process validation & requalification
- Production interruptions and escalations with OEMs
An incorrect relocation can cost millions.
Our solution - A relocation that works
We take care of the end-to-end management of your production relocation so that your company can manage the relocation quickly, smoothly and cost-effectively.
- Detailed feasibility analysis & risk assessment
- Inventory build-up & production hedging to avoid interruptions
- Dismantling, transportation & commissioning of machines & systems
- Requalification, PPAP & approvals for error-free series production
- Sustainable process optimization & store floor integration
Our goal
No production downtimes, maximum planning reliability & fast ramp-up phases.
Let's talk about your relocation - we'll make it happen!
Get your critical relocation project on track. Our team of experts is ready to work with you to develop concrete solutions – without risking your delivery capability and product quality.
Typical relocation scenarios
- Plant closure & relocation of an entire production site
- Partial relocation of individual production lines to a new plant
- Relocation of production capacities to more cost-efficient locations
- Restructuring & reorganization of production areas
- Optimization of footprint & plant layouts for maximum efficiency
Successful projects - Our references
- Smooth relocation of a complete assembly line within 3 weeks
- 100% production continuity during the relocation of an OEM supplier
- Restart of a production line with PPAP approval in record time
Success Stories
Industrialization - Start new plants, processes & series production without errors
Why industrialization fails.
The construction of new production lines or plants is an extremely complex challengewhere numerous risks lurk:
- Excessively long ramp-up phases and unexpected production problems
- Lack of capacity planning & inefficient plant layouts
- Poor material flow planning that leads to bottlenecks
- Lack of quality assurance & delays in OEM approvals
Our solution - Industrialization with precision & speed
T.A.S. FORCE ensures that your new new production line is up and running immediatelywith optimal material flow, stable processes and fast PPAP approval.
- End-to-end launch management - From planning to series production
- Factory layout & plant structure planning for efficient processes
- Infrastructure planning, material flow & logistics optimization
- Process validation, FMEA & early error prevention
- APQP & PPAP approval for OEM requirements
Let's talk about your industrialization - We will implement it precisely!
Start your new production without start-up problems and delays. Our team of experts guarantees a smooth industrialization process with validated quality and on-time PPAP approval for your OEM customers.
Industrialization of new series - on time, on cost, on quality
- Do you need to bring a new series into series production for an OEM on time?
- Your industrialization project is already behind schedule and the SOP is approaching?
- Are missing approvals, unstable processes or insufficient capacities jeopardizing the start of series production?
The industrialization of new series is one of the of the biggest challenges for Tier 1 suppliers. OEMs expect that new products on time, error-free and cost-effective go into series production.
T.A.S. FORCE ensures that your start-up process start-up process runs smoothly and that you meet all quality, process and delivery capability requirements at an early stage.
Our measures for a successful series start-up phase:
- Planning & control of industrialization with detailed milestones
- Ensure APQP & PPAP approval - before OEMs escalate
- Error prevention through FMEA, SPC & robust production processes
- Capacity planning & set-up time optimization for maximum productivity
- Supplier development & task force management for critical components
- Avoidance of start-up delays & escalations with OEMs
- Stable series processes from day one
- 100% delivery capability at the planned SOP
Let's talk about your series start-up - We guarantee on-time delivery!
Start your production without ramp-up problems. Our team of experts ensures your production launch with proven methodology and meets all OEM requirements on time.
