Automotive Operations Management
Operations management in automotive assembly is complex, especially in the paint shop. Managing the pretreatment and ECoat stages of surface preparation, the paint booth, and a wet or dry paint overspray separation system, all require strong water treatment and process knowledge. There are multiple vendors involved in daily operations and there can be a frequent turnover of skilled operators. This combination can result in loss of production efficiency and higher operating cost.
