Improving quality of production while retaining the flexibility to meet changing demand cycles is just one of the manufacturing challenges the auto companies in India are facing today. In addition, rising labour rates, in part illustrated by recent unrest, mean carmakers must constantly re-assess the cost and efficiency balance between the capital cost of automation and their current expenditure on labour.
As if that were not enough, India’s supplier base at Tier 2 and below is in general not yet able to provide the unvarying quality needed for today’s vehicle production standards. The issue is particularly acute for foreign OEMs seeking to introduce global platforms with no allowance for local variations in build.
To deal these challenges, all the delegates will come together at this year’s international conference on vehicle manufacturing and assembly. Apart from domestic and foreign OEMs and tier suppliers, the providers of the equipment and technologies used in vehicle production will meet to share knowledge and techniques. The fifth edition of AMS India Conference is scheduled to be held in Pune from 5 to 7 December, 2012.
