  • HEGGEMANN Helps with Series Start-Up the Aerospace Technology
    press release / Airport PAD / Büren-Ahden 12/04/2019 HEGGEMANN helps with series start-up The aerospace technology specialist at Paderborn/Lippstadt Airport is taking on a major order from Vietnam. The excavators have already arrived to move many cubic meters of earth on HEGGEMANN AG's new expansion site. In its core business, the specialist from Büren focuses on the development and implementation of highly complex metal assemblies for the aviation industry. For example, complete landing gear systems are developed, tested and transferred to series production, or complex welded assemblies made of special materials such as titanium are produced for aircraft engines. In addition to the aviation sector, the automotive industry has traditionally used the vertical integration of the lightweight construction specialist for selected series projects for more than 30 years. Very quickly, in the fourth quarter of 2018, HEGGEMANN AG received a major order from the new Vietnamese automotive group VinFast, which emerged from VinGroup, a globally active multi-group. In a first step, VinFast manufactures two models under license, which are based on the technology of the last BMW 5 Series and BMW X5 Series. More than half of VinFast's suppliers come from Germany. In connection with HEGGEMANN AG, the list with names such as ABB, Bosch, Dürr, Siemens, ThyssenKrupp and ZF reads impressively. HEGGEMANN was selected because of its reliable customer relationships within the automotive industry to ensure the start-up of the complex front and rear axle production. In order to implement this ambitious project, HEGGEMANN is expanding its production areas directly at the site where the series production plant will be put into operation.

  • Theme 1 Answers Chapter 1 Case Study
    THEME 1 ANSWERS CHAPTER 1 CASE STUDY: MARS AND BANCO SANTANDER 1. Suggest two raw materials that might be used by Mars. Answers may include: cocoa, sugar, milk, dried fruit, nuts and wrapping materials. 2. Suggest two examples of different workers that might be employed by Mars. Answers may include: factory workers, machine operators, production line workers, supervisors, managers or quality inspectors. 3. Suggest two services that might be provided by Banco Santander. Answers may include: the provision of current accounts, insurance policies, loans and overdrafts, credit cards or savings accounts. 4. Discuss in groups the possible reasons why Mars may use more machinery in its operations than Santander. The provision of services such as banking often requires more people in production. This is because the service industry often involves carrying out tasks for customers that are likely to be done by people. In contrast, Mars is a manufacturer and many of its products are produced on production lines in highly automated factories. Most of the processes used to make chocolate bars, including wrapping and packaging, can be carried out by machines. The use of labour is not significant in relation to the amount of machinery. However, with more and more people using online banking, the numbers of people employed in the provision of financial services is falling. An increasing number of financial services can be provided online with a small amount of contact between bank employees and customers. ACTIVITY 1 CASE STUDY: JINDAL STEEL AND POWER 1. What is meant by the term manufacturing? One important aspect of production is manufacturing.

  • SPARK MINDA Hello Friends
    01 SPARK MINDA Hello friends, Technology is changing the definition of competitiveness and consciousness in the automotive manufacturing industry. Organisations and manufacturing units are becoming digital, with smart machines that work more efficiently. Automotive manufacturing companies are realising value through collaboration with technology to create new strategies. It is now evident that adoption of new technology will help manufacturing companies gain the competitive advantage. But such collaborations will require new capabilities and foresight to be able to mean something. The result will be better product innovation and higher productivity. Technological advancements have been reshaping the manufacturing industry, including automotive manufacturing, over the last couple of years. Features like driverless cars are fast becoming mainstream products. These technologies have created unprecedented opportunities to reimagine the possible. Therefore, it is important to deliberate on the essential areas that we must focus on to improve our capabilities and to grow. This edition of Spark Minda Times focuses on our small and big technological advancements, achievements and accomplishments from around the world. Which opens our eyes to our strength and proficiency as a technology leader in the automotive domain and also throw light on the possibilities of what more we could be.
