Production in the Group
 The mission of PSA Peugeot Citroën production facilities is to manufacture, each day, vehicles that meet both the design teams’ expectations and customer requirements while complying with cost targets and delivery deadlines.
The production facilities are divided into four workshops: stamping, body-in-white construction, paint and assembly. Planning is based on firm orders from customers, which are transformed into Production Orders and then grouped and dispatched among the Group’s production facilities.
Satisfying end customers
Production’s ultimate goal is to satisfy the end customer as concerns the product’s aspect, services and comfort. Since manufacturing plays a key role in the Group’s brand image, each production facility contributes significantly to the strategic objective of placing each model within the top three cars in its category. The plants have to get things right the first time, which makes end-to-end control of the production process crucial.
Integrating plants into the surrounding environment
Controlling production processes also entails continuously improving the plants’ impact on the surrounding environment. PSA Peugeot Citroën pays particular attention to reducing emissions and effluent, to recycling industrial waste and to preserving the soil and landscape. The Group has developed an effective environmental management strategy and conducts regular programs to train employees and raise their environmental awareness. All the sites of the group are certified ISO 14001 certification, the internationally recognized standard in this area.
Capacity utilization
To optimize the utilization of production capacity involved in making the basic components shared by all Group vehicles, production has been organized three platforms with five more cooperation platform : two platforms in cooperation with Fiat (LCV +MPV), a platform in cooperation with Toyota (small vehicles range’s entrance), a platform in cooperation with Mitsubishi (4x4 and a platform in cooperation with Fiat and Tofas (LCV). This politics of flat shape evolves by integrating more modularity and flexibility. |
