Designing a New Battery Gigafactory at ACC
Need to Optimize the Capital Expenditure Related to the Design of a Gigafactory
ACC is a newly founded company with shares held by Stellantis, Total, and Mercedes. The engineering is in charge of the design of a new Gigafactory in Billy – Berclau (France). Such a factory is expected to cost roughly €1 bn, which means that overinvestment in the average common in the industry (10%) would lead to tens of millions of euros in wasted assets. Hence the need to optimize the design of the factory. The client reached out to Dillygence, first to conduct a functional analysis of the factory and then to validate the complete structure of the factory (e.g., inventories, control policy, lead time, production flow)
