PSA Peugeot Citroen Selects Tecnomatix MPM for Its Powertrain Division
October 23, 2002 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Nashua, N.H. -- PSA Peugeot Citroen has chosen eMPower Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) solutions from Tecnomatix Technologies to complete the implementation of its digital factory project, the third and last phase of its Ingenum Program, for its powertrain division.
PSA Peugeot Citroen has placed an initial order for 30 eMPower seats as part of a global contract that includes 130 eMPower seats. They will be used for streamlining and standardizing all manufacturing operations in their powertrain division.
This initial phase comprises the eMPower Machining solution for process planning definition and engine machining-line design, and the eMPower Assembly solution for process definition and optimization of engine final assembly lines.
PSA Peugeot Citroen wants to standardize its machining and assembly work flow and processes across its powertrain division, which comprises several industrial sites, and expects a reduction of investment in equipment, machines and toolings. PSA Peugeot Citroen engineers and designers also want to benefit from the implementation of best practices and knowledge bases in a much more effective and reliable way. This will facilitate the decision-making process at all levels and will enable, at the early stages, more accurate cost estimation of projects. PSA Peugeot Citroen expects to achieve a reduction in development and production ramp-up time through a higher interaction between design and manufacturing engineers.
Tecnomatix Technologies Ltd. is the driving force in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM). For more information, visit www.tecnomatix.com.
Strengthened by its two broadline brands, PSA Peugeot Citroen is ranked No. 2 of carmakers in Europe with a market share of 15 percent in 2001. For more information, visit www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com.
