-: We wanted to achieve a breakthrough
in the performance of our plants,
and we launched a dedicated digitalization program
called Interiors 4.0.
Our ambition is to be the leader in our industry
in terms of material flow management,
transformation, and assembly.
The lighthouse plant approach has three objectives.
It is a platform to ignite our innovation
in terms of manufacturing processes.
Second, it will set the standards for the future
of Forvia manufacturing operations.
And finally, it ensures that our best practices
are deployed throughout our footprint.
So we defined a bold vision
for the digitalization of our manufacturing operations
and we implemented it in one of our plants
in record time, less than eight months.
The digital lighthouse is based
on four transformative pillars: automation,
data and digitization,
structural change,
and increased sustainability.
Close collaboration with BCG in particular
strongly contributed to our success.
We're able to leverage expertise
to define the future of operations,
to kickstart our ideation phase,
and to bring it to reality in the lighthouse plant.
-: We partnered with Forvia along three steps.
One, we supported the Interiors leadership team
to define a breakthrough vision
for their digitalization journey,
leveraging our digital immersion center in Paris.
Two, we worked hand in hand
with the Forvia manufacturing team
to implement 30 of the most transformative use cases
in the lighthouse plants.
And three, we are now involved
in the global scaling and rollout
of those new standards beyond the lighthouse plant.
