Seat Design - Mission Impossible
14 day issue resolution
Emergency design & build with pre-production delivery
That was literally what we were told by the Tier 1 supplier when they asked for our help. With only two weeks to go before the first saleable vehicles were required at a mainstream OEM a red flag was raised: the production supplier of the second and third row seat frames would no longer support the pre-production build. There was no manufacturing process or method, only obsolete prototype jigs were available and components were of unknown engineering level.
