| Abstract | JTEKT has been developing and manufacturing battery production equipment for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation since 2006. JTEKT focus on applying the Simple, Slim, and Compact (SSC) design philosophy to improve manufacturing efficiency. In the third-generation equipment, SSC implementation resulted in a 50% reduction in required workforce, a 50% decrease in delivery lead time, a 50% reduction in installation floor space, and a 75% reduction in annual air conditioning costs. Building on these results, JTEKT aims to expand SSC technology to battery electric vehicle (BEV) equipment, addressing the challenges of increasing equipment size while maintaining compactness and cost efficiency. |
