Bentley production ramps up to 100%
Production of Bentley’s new Bentayga began today at its carbon neutral factory in Crewe.
This follows a comprehensive review of the social distancing measures in place that now allows Bentley production output to increase from 50% to 100%.
Consequently, a small number of assembly areas have been redesigned implementing a revised TAKT time while enabling a controlled, safe working environment at a social distance of more than one-metre. All other areas will maintain a strict social distance of two-metres and mandatory face masks will remain throughout the factory.
Peter Bosch, member of the board for manufacturing, said: “In the lead up to manufacture commencing we reviewed each individual process to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness, implementing industry-leading lean techniques with social distancing measures included. What we are seeing at start of production is a car that is significantly revised, both inside and out, and yet reaching record quality in manufacture levels across the industry.”
