The FPT Industrial engine manufacturing facility
in Bourbon-Lancy, France, has achieved Gold Level designation in
the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) program. It is now the third
CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI/MI: CNHI) site, after IVECO’s
Madrid and Valladolid plants in Spain, to be awarded this
status.
The factory specializes in the manufacture of
the Cursor engine series which offers 77 technical variations and
over 5,700 different options. It has a production capacity of some
80,000 engines a year, and a workforce of close to 1,200 people.
The Bourbon-Lancy site is recognized as a center of excellence for
both diesel and natural gas engines manufacturing a range of
bespoke engines to meet the specific requirements of a range of
applications from On and Off Highway vehicles to marine and power
generation.
The Bourbon-Lancy plant is well known in the
region for its commitment to sustainability. In addition to being
the home of the most successful natural gas-powered engines on the
market, the plant has also implemented a number of projects that
focus on minimizing the impact of industrial activities and
protecting the biodiversity of its surrounding environment.
World Class Manufacturing is one of the global
manufacturing industry’s highest standards for the integrated
management of manufacturing plants and processes. It is a
pillar-structured system based on continuous improvement, designed
to eliminate waste and loss from the production process by
identifying objectives such as zero injuries, zero defects, zero
breakdowns and zero waste. To certify improvements, a system of
periodic third-party audits evaluates all of the WCM pillars,
forming an overall score for each plant that is the basis for three
achievement levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
The WCM audit in Bourbon-Lancy noted progress
and consistency across a variety of both manufacturing and
managerial areas including Cost Deployment and Autonomous
Maintenance Workplace Organization leading to the Gold Level
designation.
