With flexible manufacturing, the Chrysler Group said it will save nearly $100 million for the Pacifica launch while simultaneously reducing tooling and facilities capital expenditures by approximately 40 percent. Savings are realized by using the company’s worldwide resources and a total system approach, the company said.

A combination of creative bidding on tooling, digital manufacturing and full asset-utilization contributed to the overall savings, the company said. The company’s flexible efforts support the addition of five new products to the current long-range product plan.
“For the first time ever, a Chrysler Group manufacturing facility is able to produce two entirely different products on the same production line as a result of flexible manufacturing initiatives,” said Tom LaSorda, Executive Vice President Manufacturing, Chrysler Group. “Flexibility lends to better use of our capacity, which will ultimately increase our ability to meet market demand more quickly, with less cost, while enhancing our competitive position within the industry.”
