JLR cuts platforms to pare costs

21 Sep 2010 Evaluate

Tata Motors JLR business will make more models on fewer platforms to prune cost and simplify manufacturing lines. Fewer platforms increases flexibility and offers greater use of a plant. It also reduces product development time through a fixed set of engineered components. It will have four platforms instead of nine in the next 2-3 years, due to implementation of new technology. The underpinning of a platform can be used to spawn a whole range of distinctly different range of vehicles. Rationalising platforms will help the company reduce R&D cost. This will also help in shifting product mix towards higher margin vehicles.
