In an industry where success forces you to implement so many complex changes so quickly, the risks of making mistakes are enormous. How can you make changes with the certainty that they’ll achieve their intended results—before you commit to them? For many of the world’s most successful automotive manufacturers and suppliers, Lanner’s WITNESS simulation software is the answer.

WITNESS has been used extensively within the Automotive industry for over fifteen years, including organizations such as Ford, Michelin, Nissan, ArvinMeritor, Cummins, DaimlerChrysler, Delphi, General Motors, Honda, Johnson Controls, TRW and Uniroyal

One of the strengths of WITNESS is its flexibility. This makes the software ideally suited for use in the automotive industry, where material delivery, production, and distribution involve such diverse processes.

Lanner’s automotive customers have used WITNESS to address issues in such areas as:
• trim operations 
• paintshop
• body assembly
• powertrain
• stamping operations 
• material delivery logistics

on application areas such as:

• production design, planning and scheduling
• facilities layout 
• supply chain logistics 
• capital equipment justification 
• engineering process improvement

These companies also report improved confidence in decision making, better communication of recommendations and team integration, and faster buy-in to proposed changes.
