Stellantis manufacturing leaders embrace the challenge to discover and implement production processes that leverage workers’ talents, ensure product quality, improve efficiencies and produce vehicles and components efficiently with minimal environmental impact.
Now in its ninth year, Stellantis’ annual Factory Booster Day is a key part of driving manufacturing improvements to meet the demands of today’s industry and leverage new technologies for the shop floor. Employing the Open Challenge process where plant leaders solicit suppliers and startup companies for ideas, Factory Booster Day is a global showcase of solutions for the factory floor, pitched by suppliers and startups via physical and virtual demonstrations.
The 2024 Factory Booster Day held September 18 at the Stellantis Mirafiori Complex in Turin, Italy, includes 93 innovations on display. Over the past three years, more than 300 proposals have been considered by the Stellantis manufacturing team.
“We have proof that collaboration with our manufacturing partners works. Implementing innovations and continuous improvement have reduced our transformation costs 11%, energy consumption 23% and quality issues 40% since 2021,” said Arnaud Deboeuf, Stellantis Chief Manufacturing Officer. “Stellantis workers are proud to build vehicles that deliver the emotional and world-class qualities of our iconic brands. Leveraging the latest technologies, especially AI, is a significant lever to achieve the level of excellence we are aiming for.”
