An approach to systematically identify and analyse delay risks in ramp-up projects of automotive manufacturers assuring scheduled ramp-up is discussed considering challenges of time-to-volume, increased quantity of ramp-up projects and increased complexity of products. It follows a multi-stage process based on the common risk management process. Within the first stage comprehensive risk identification in a preliminary process of ramp-up projects is conducted. The second stage includes any activities (risk management) to optimise ramp-up process with regards to delay risks. The approach was validated at an automotive manufacturer site within a ramp-up project of a new product. Results of the forecasting risk simulation and reality of open flaws are to a high degree consistent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
