Summary
This report assesses the current and projected adoption of advanced manufacturing processes, including automation and management techniques, within the U.S. motor vehicle industry. The study examines specific technologies such as industrial robots, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), flexible manufacturing systems, and just-in-time production methods. It highlights that these processes are being implemented to reduce vehicle manufacturing costs and improve product quality. The analysis compares the penetration rates of these technologies in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, noting significant differences in automation levels. Key findings indicate a rapid increase in robot usage and CAD/CAM integration by major manufacturers like General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. The report concludes that these advanced processes are essential for maintaining competitiveness and reducing unit costs in the automotive sector.
Key finding
Advanced manufacturing processes, particularly industrial robots and CAD/CAM systems, are being rapidly adopted by U.S. motor vehicle manufacturers to reduce production costs and improve quality, though Japan maintains a higher level of automation.
