The Plant and the Task: Simply Gigantic

In Poland, the Korean company LG Energy Solution has built the largest European production facility for lithium-ion batteries for electric cars. The plant is simply gigantic – four times larger than Tesla’s Gigafactory 1 in the US. But when there are more than 50 production lines for battery cells and complete batteries for European vehicle manufacturers being built, gigantic amounts of homework also pile up. Once the expected battery boom is in full swing, the processes have to run like clockwork. And at the same time be variable to absorb rapidly changing conditions. Porsche Consulting knows how it’s done.

Implementation

Optimal Use of Capacity

When battery production shifts into high gear, the quality of the output must not be compromised. That’s why Porsche Consulting developed an optimized maintenance system for LG Energy Solution that harmonizes organization, planning, operational measures and spare parts management. An in-depth analysis showed that this concept to make better use of the machines would not require adding more capacity.
