Organización logística e industrial para la línea de montaje final (FAL) del CN235/C295

Industrial and logistics organisation of the CN235/C295 aircraft Final Assembly Line (FAL).

This project consisted of designing the industrial and logistics organisation of the CN235/C295 aircraft assembly plant through lean manufacturing techniques. The organisation was  studied in detail for stations, thereby avoiding wastage caused in manufacturing process as much as possible.

In addition, AERTEC collaborated in the planning, definition and final management of the manufacturing facility’s transfer from the old San Pablo Norte plant to the new facility in San Pablo Sur, which is located adjacent to the A400M FAL, with which it shares several resources. It therefore took part in the final implementation of the industrial organisation thus defined and several enhancements were introduced in both the plant’s logistics as well as its organisation.
