Approach and implementation
The layout has been four work areas, where the first three give the fourth as a consequence, a good ability for sustainable series production. The areas are collaboration, working methods, lab operations and serial production. The collaboration is central, where a common knowledge front was given to be used for the industry´s transformation, connection to the supply chain is also included. Lab operations have tested technical possibilities and working methods in a real environment. The last area has had its focus on creating an ability for efficient and sustainable production.
