Case Study : Nissan Qashqai - Lighthouse Systems - #6

Nissan Qashqai Case Study

Lighthouse would become the standard for data communication and analysis on the shopfloor and help to improve further the performance of the plant as a whole.

In conclusion, Dave Warne says, "The Lighthouse software has demonstrated itself as a potential source of all data on our Sunderland plant shopfloor. For this new model launch process the system has been designed very quickly, in just nine weeks. As a result, we have had to compromise in some areas. We will be addressing these issues as we progress from here and continue to develop the system to best meet our changing needs. To get a new model production project in the UK is a tall order because of our high wage costs in this country compared to other parts of the world. This means that we have to operate much smarter and systems like Lighthouse help us to do just that. The payback benefits of Shopfloor-Online far outweigh its costs and we look forward to a long and productive future with Lighthouse."
