They are not making parts, they are assembling.
I am sure assembly line was approved from Germany.

There is a lot of trial and error involved with mastering an assembly process. I've seen a production plant be in business for 30+ years, switch to a new chassis and errors occurred like: fuel lines not attached completely, electrical harnesses not latched, fuel feed pipe not connected to tank, suspension components not torqued to the optimal value. They will have their trials and tribulations - some of the important variables are to learn from mistakes, proper training of the associates, and avoid boredom. For sure they will deal with turn over as the San Luis area, and surrounding areas have a lot of manufacturing competition. |
BMW's have been contract manufactured and assembled in Mexico since 1995. The new BMW Group Plant - San Luis Potosí replaces the JV Lerma Motores Plant in Toluca. That factory has been the highest quality manufacturing facility for BMW vehicles for many years and was the first network facility to achieve Lean Six Sigma operation.
