Susanne Lehmann, Volkswagen’s senior director of production for North America, is in charge of pulling production and supply chain together in the region, including in areas such as programme planning, production steering, design for manufacturing and digitalisation. VW is already seeing results in productivity and supplier management but, as she explains to Christopher Ludwig, there are challenges to overcome in Mexico, not least for the future production of electric vehicles, which is why the carmaker is in discussion with its transport providers, government bodies and suppliers to meet the goal of stable production by 2021.
