Dana’s is a multinational Automotive supplier. The Campbellfield site was a Greenfield site – where Dana assemble and supply complete IRS modules to Ford utilising an Australian-First In-Line-Vehicle sequencing system that accepts electronic notification of the vehicle type being built from Ford with two hours notification. This electronic notification triggers the assembly line IT system to define the corresponding IRS module complexity to be built, and display the part required at each assembly station for the selected variant. This signalling allows the single production line to be utilised to produce any module complexity in sequence with Ford’s vehicle build sequence, removing the need for inventory buffers – a true Lean supply delivery system.Role OverviewAs maintenance manager was responsible for critical manufacturing functions including:• Electrical commissioning of new assembly line, with Australian first in line vehicle sequencing technology• Establish and manage the maintenance department at the Greenfield site.Professional Contributions;• Hands-on electrical commissioning of a brand new assembly line.
