EBRO chooses Approductivity as a strategic tool for industrial engineering, logistics and quality

A relationship based on the highest standards of quality, efficiency and innovation in the automotive sector

Just a few months ago, we talked about major automotive brands that have chosen and continue to choose Approductivity as a strategic tool for their production processes.

The complexity of processes in the automotive sector makes it necessary to use a digitalization and standardization tool capable of quickly and accurately simulating different production scenarios in order to plan production, ensure deadlines are met, guarantee quality standards and achieve the objectives set for the plants.

Approductivity is now part of Ebro Factory after a pilot test at its Barcelona plant

The Catalan company EBRO is characterized by innovation and technological leadership, with the highest quality standards and a strong commitment to doing things right, choosing a model of ethical and sustainable productivity based on continuous improvement, quality and efficiency.

Meeting the demanding manufacturing deadlines of the automotive sector requires a high level of excellence. For this reason, EBRO has placed its trust in Itemsa and Approductivity to improve processes, methods and times, as well as to balance workloads for all the new models it is incorporating into production in record time.

After a six-month pilot test at its Barcelona plant and in view of the outstanding results achieved, EBRO has made a firm commitment to the full implementation of Approductivity as a strategic tool for planning vehicle production. This is only the first step of the relationship with EBRO, as it is an ambitious project aimed at improving the competitiveness of its plants worldwide. For this reason, EBRO has already acquired its first 9 Approductivity licenses for the Engineering department, and they will soon be introduced as a strategic solution in other departments such as Manufacturing, Logistics and Quality at its Barcelona plant.

In addition, with the help of our tool, EBRO goes one step further in establishing a way of working for the Process Engineering department (optimization and standardization of working methods, time calculation, workload balancing on assembly lines, reporting, etc.).

There are no limits with Approductivity: EBRO has a fully customized tool tailored to its needs

Approductivity is versatile and fully customizable according to each customer’s needs. In EBRO’s case, this customization will also include the tailor-made development of an upper layer that will enable plant KPI reporting to compare the competitiveness of each production site using reliable, standardized data and identical criteria.
