Benefits of Finger Pointing and calling Techniques in Manufacturing: ✅ Increased Focus: Physically pointing aids in concentrating on specific tasks, reducing distractions for operators. ✅ Accountability: Implementing pointing and calling enhances personal accountability, facilitating error identification. ✅ Improved Safety: Verifying actions through pointing before execution minimizes accidents and operational errors. ✅ Error Reduction: Pairing finger-pointing with lean practices like poka-yoke substantially decreases human errors. ✅ Enhanced Team Communication: Pointing and calling in team settings offer visual confirmation, fostering better communication among workers. Integrating finger-pointing techniques in manufacturing stages can significantly cut down human errors. These methods cultivate mindfulness, accountability, and attention to detail, leading to a safer and more efficient production process.#fingerpointingandcalling

Carlos Tavares says industry will suffer from prolonged period of investing in both traditional engines and battery-powered cars. 🤔 The chief executive of Stellantis has warned that delays to the electric vehicle transition pose a “trap” that will bring higher costs, cautioning against industry calls to water down regulations to cut carbon emissions. Carlos Tavares, head of the European group behind the Peugeot, Fiat and Jeep brands, told the Financial Times that the industry would ultimately suffer from lower profitability if companies were burdened with investing in both the existing internal combustion technology and the switch to battery-powered vehicles. “Making a transition for [EVs] longer is a big trap,” Tavares said on the sidelines of the Paris Motor Show, which kicked off on Monday. “When you make a longer transition, in fact, you don’t replace the old world by the new one. You add up the new world to the old.” European car executives have urged regulators to consider adjusting the region’s new emissions standards that will come into force next year in light of the slowing growth of EV sales. That is heaping doubts on a 2035 European deadline for the industry to shift to all electric sales. Martin Sander, who leads sales, marketing and after-sales at Volkswagen’s passenger car business, also called on governments to speed up the transition after demand for EVs fell sharply in Germany and other markets where state subsidies were removed or reduced. “The most important thing is that customer demand and political regulations are in sync,” said Sander. The German carmaker is the most behind in meeting EU emission targets, according to analysts. https://lnkd.in/dhj2_bNs

Once all components are assembled, time is gold! It is important to identify poor NVH performance as early in development as possible. What if you can predict system NVH performance before the first prototype is built? Component-based transfer path analysis (TPA) aims to identify and combine independent source loads with a receiving structure to predict NVH performance in a virtually assembled configuration. Read the component-based TPA white paper and find out how to 👉 Set realistic component targets 👉 Predict system-level NVH performance based on individual component testing #Simcenter #NVH #electricvehicle https://sie.ag/5aebeJ

Quality Training When your team is well-trained, they're more likely to perform their tasks correctly, reducing errors and waste that can drive up costs. Moreover, skilled employees are better equipped to maintain high-quality standards because they understand the importance of following procedures and work instructions.

Toyota has filed a patent for in-wheel electric motors, signaling continued innovation in this area ⚙️. The patent, published by the USPTO on July 18, 2024, focuses on a gear-case design that uses two helical gears and thrust bearings. This setup is designed to handle thrust loads on the gears while minimizing weight 🏋️‍♂️. In-wheel electric motors are significant because they integrate the motor directly into the wheels, potentially improving efficiency and space utilization 🚗. However, this design can increase "unsprung mass," which refers to weight not supported by the vehicle's suspension. Too much unsprung mass can negatively impact ride quality and handling, making Toyota's weight-saving design crucial for performance 🚙. Although patent filings don’t always lead to immediate products, Toyota's consistent interest in this technology suggests ongoing development 🛠️. In-wheel motors could play a key role in Toyota's future electric vehicles, enhancing efficiency and flexibility in design. Attached is an image of the in-wheel motor patent design, highlighting Toyota’s cutting-edge innovation 🔧📸. . . . . Interested in the Automotive industry?

😎🚗🚚10/24/2024: OICA's 5 major #automotive news summarized: 1. **Hyundai Motor Q3 Profit Misses Forecast as Demand Slows; Shares Slide**     * Reuters - October 24, 2024     Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차)'s Q3 profit fell 7% to 3.6 trillion won, missing forecasts. Higher warranty costs, sales incentives, and slowing global demand led to a 5% stock drop. Hyundai maintained an 8-9% operating margin target, boosted hybrid sales, and opened a U.S. factory but lowered EV targets.     *[Link](https://lnkd.in/emQnw-2d  2. **Renault Beats Q3 Forecasts as New Launches Lift Sales**      Reuters - October 24, 2024      Renault Group's Q3 revenue rose 1.8% to €10.7 billion, driven by high-priced model demand and electrified vehicle sales. Despite global challenges, shares jumped 7.6%, surpassing competitors. Renault held its 7.5% margin target and plans new models, though pure EV sales stayed flat, posing a regulatory challenge.     *[Link](https://lnkd.in/eQYzPUha  3. **VW’s Scout Motors Adds New Hybrid Models to Counter EV Slowdown**      Bloomberg - October 25, 2024     Volkswagen Group is introducing hybrid versions of its Scout SUVs and pickups to address EV range concerns, with models debuting in 2027. The hybrids aim for 500-mile range, more affordable prices, and enhanced U.S. market competitiveness. Production at VW’s $2 billion South Carolina facility is planned.     *[Link](https://lnkd.in/e6RVvcwX  4. **CATL Unveils Quick-Charging, Plug-In Battery with 400-km Range**      Nikkei - October 25, 2024      #CATL launched its "Freevoy" plug-in hybrid battery, offering a 400-km range with a 10-minute 280-km charge. Blending lithium and sodium-ion tech, the battery suits low temperatures and will power 30 upcoming Chinese plug-in models. Chinese demand for plug-ins surged 84.2% amid range and charging concerns.     *[Link](https://lnkd.in/ejmVFVZn  5. **Newer AEB Systems Surpass Older Ones but Still Struggle at High Speeds**      Automotive News - October 25, 2024     AAA research shows modern automatic emergency braking #AEB systems prevent twice as many crashes as older models, working well at 35 mph but struggling above 45 mph. The NHTSA mandates improvements by 2029 for safety up to 50 mph. Automakers, facing false activation issues, will need further refinements to meet standards.     *[Link](https://lnkd.in/eN6_SNgp

Volkswagen profit plunges 42% in third quarter amid sweeping overhaul plans 📈 Operating profit fell to 2.86 billion euros ($3.1 billion), while third quarter sales revenues slipped 0.5% year on year to around 78.5 billion euros. The third quarter results come after Volkswagen last month cut its 2024 annual outlook for the second time in just a few months. Volkswagen has been in hot water in recent months, warning of potential plant closures in Germany and scrapping a slew of labor agreements with local workers in September. * Disrupted by Technology, VW doesn't have a viable Hybrid Powertrain Technology and lacks marketing their All-Battery Electric car Strategy, due to Global EV sales not catching up. A mistake going all out with EV but cannot sell? Most importantly, VW doesn't have AI in Manufacturing, because Germans were the inventors of Industry 4.0 not yet understanding and seeing what's next as Industry 5.0 - There is a difference between Automation and Autonomous 💡
