At MAHLE Behr, there is a requirement to reconsider the production strategy for HVAC manufacturing of heavy duty commercial vehicles considering the changes that will take place after the advent of EURO VI. Presently, assembly for TATA Y1 LHD&RHD 24V and VECV LHD&RHD takes place on a single line. The demand for the HVACs of these vehicles isn’t high enough to use mass production systems. This paper looks to find an alternative to traditional production systems and strategies with a view to improve productivity.
