How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

Each manufacturing plant used localized welding fixtures, stamping tools, and local tier 2 component suppliers, creating 4 distinct MBOM structures.
Engineering released a universal master EBOM, but reconciling it across 4 unique plant MBOMs required hundreds of manual engineering hours per change.
Plant specific BOM errors led to mismatched weld nut sizes and incorrect fastener torque specifications on European assembly lines.
