Production and Processes: One stop solution
We cover a wide range of processes throughout the value chain, starting with pre-production processes like research, development, prototyping and sourcing. Obviously, serial production is our core process supported by value adding processes like heat and surface treatment and assembly. Spare part and after sales service is a part of our daily business in the automotive industry.
Hard-to-beat competitiveness
For high volume serial production, we use modern and efficient production equipment with a high level of automation. We use more manual or semi-automated production methods when volumes and requirements are lower and often implement these projects in best cost countries. We use “LEAN” as a mind-set in all activities, resulting in annual productivity improvements. Another factor for high efficiency is the increased use of multi-operations machines.
Our core processes are
- Soft and hard CNC machining
- Heat treatment, case hardening and induction hardening
- Assembly
- Surface treatment and painting
Our flexible production solutions
Serial production is our core process. We build flexible production cells to meet customer requirements and volumes. For us, small volume projects mean just as much as high volume projects. Our choice of production sites allows us to find the best home for your products. In many cases we have proven that we can produce better than our competitors – and even better than our customers, who often decide to outsource their production to us completely, and gain time for other business matters.
Strategic product range – components and systems
Research, development and design
Every good product is the result of fundamental research. At our Tech Center, research on future electrical transmission concepts for engines, gearboxes and axles takes place. A close cooperation with our customers and also with our collaborating universities guarantees the best end-product possible.
Product design and prototyping are the subsequent steps in the development process of a new product. Engineering teams at our sites use standard tools like 3D CAD design, FEM and FMEA analysis, amongst others, to create reliable products that also follow DFM/DFA principles.
Optimized production
- Minimized production cost
- LEAX production system (LPS)
- LEAX Industrial System (LIS)
- Secured Quality & Efficiency
- Coordinated outsourcing & Ramp-up
- Leveraging LEAX’s automated processes
LEAX Production System (LPS)
LEAX Production System ensures stable processes and continuous improvements. LPS supports LEAX’s growth through LEAN manufacturing by eliminating waste and releasing assets and resources that is reinvested in the production.
LEAX Industrial System (LIS)
LEAX Industrial System is critical success factors along with developed core competence areas for managing industrial enterprises. LIS reinforces the LEAX brand and is applicable to any industrial system. LIS adds further dimensions to the LPS. By following LIS, LEAX achieves a higher level of maturity in being a world class manufacturer with global competitiveness.
