Opel AG: The New Ruesselsheim Plant 2002 (5) Sophisticated Logistics
The "Business Mall" is on the north-western side of the site. This building will become operative at the same time as the assembly plant in 2002. It will be operated by a single service provider, who will supply the assembly shop with modules in precisely the right sequence. These modules will be assembled from parts delivered by different suppliers. The modules are taken by truck directly to the appropriate docking stations of the assembly shop.
These are located in the direct vicinity of the assembly points on the production line, where 73 components and subassemblies are taken immediately from the trucks and assembled. Some 50 percent of the materials needed for the assembly pass through this Business Mall. Ten components and modules come directly from suppliers to the docking stations on the assembly lines. all photos: Adam Opel AG
