Automating production processes across engineering plant floors for one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in the worlds
 
 
The customer
One of the largest vehicle manufacturer in the world with operations spanning five continents.
 
The challenge
For managing production process of engineering plant floors, the company was using an application called Production Information Method (PIM), had limitations in terms of scalability and compatibility with various platforms, hindering efficient management of global operations. The challenge was to create a global system that would automate production processes across engineering plant floors. The new system had to cater to the globalization efforts of the company's unsynchronized assembly line processes across locations. Wipro used its expertise to help the client manage global operations, reduce operating costs and shorten production development life cycle.
 
The solution

Wipro managed the project right from the inception stage to testing and implementation.

Using Wipro's
Smart step methodology for offshore development
2i process model for iterative and interactive development
Quality processes of SEI CMM Level 5 & Six Sigma
the Global Production Information Method (GPIM) was developed. The new system is used to automate production processes across all engineering plant floors.

A truly global application, GPIM has made production information data accessible worldwide by creating a common process database for engineering production plants. GPIM provides customization at the local plant level. In the highly competitive landscape of car manufacturers, where the success of a model is totally dependent on its time of arrival, GPIM has helped the client shorten the production development life cycle and also significantly reduce maintenance costs.

Since data is available at a central location, it can be accessed real-time from anywhere in the world. Wipro was able to help the client move products from prototype to production faster than ever before.
