Scania has upgraded their assembly capacity from 95 to 150 trucks per day.
In this masterplan an enormous challenge was fulfilled through creating two new assembly lines while normal production continued. Ergo-Design employees have contributed to this process from 2000 until 2003. All together about a third of the production area was filled in under Ergo-Design supervision. Systematic Layout Planning was performed resulting in a Block-layout for the whole production area. Subsequently the following blocks were filled in by Ergo-Design: - Axle completion line - Wheel supply line - Frame assembly line - Several major sub assembly stations

Here the result of the Axle completion line, delivering axles to the two assembly lines, is presented. Based on the functional requirements Ergo-Design has designed the layout of the Axle Completion Line, listed the functional specifications, selected suppliers (with Scania Purchasing department), performed project management over the implementation until final take over by the Scania production organization. The Swedish Axles are completed with suspension and brake systems according to client order and production sequence. Solid preparation with 3D modelling resulted efficient and ergonomic stations and a changeover time of only three weeks.
