FIG_03: MODULAR EV CHASSIS INTEGRATION SCHEMATIC
Stage 2: Sub-Assembly Jig
Stage 3: Robotic Welding Execution
Led a cross-functional team to develop and scale a high-precision rim welding process. Overcame strict geometric tolerance constraints and high prototyping costs to successfully transition the manual line into a high-volume, automated robotic welding station.
Constraint Solved: Secured dynamic wheel shock absorbers against axial load during manufacturing.
Constraint Solved: Automated robotic welding process increasing joint strength by 18%.
01 // SITUATION

Spearheaded end-to-end NPI launch, scope, and product requirements (PRDs/MRDs) for shock-absorbing wheel suspension products across global factories.

02 // TASK

Stabilizing a critical rim manufacturing process that was highly dependent on specialized manual welding skills. The challenge was compounded by high unit prototype costs, a complex sequence of 13 separate welds per part, and extremely strict geometric tolerance specifications.

03 // ACTION

Applied Kaizen continuous improvement and 8D methodologies: tightened material specs, standardized welder training, upgraded fixtures, and deployed semi-automation.

04 // RESULT

Following process stabilization and volume ramp-up, a robotic-arm welding station was successfully implemented integrated with a semi-automated welding fixture.

Situation: Spearheaded end-to-end NPI launch, scope, and product requirements (PRDs/MRDs) for shock-absorbing wheel suspension products across global factories.
