Do they really make Mavericks 24/7? That's 8 Mavericks Every Hour..

[Automate]

Hermosillo can stamp 35 Mavericks OR 37 Bronco Sports an hour - not both at the same time. That means the line, at full speed, only assembling Broncos, can build 37 units per hour max. At present, they are running 2 shifts, five days a week. Although the website says it's open 24/7, that doesn't mean they are assembling. My source says the line is running at about 32 units an hour. The previous post that states it takes about 20.5 hours to build one unit is correct, but that isn't one day of assembly. It takes more than one day to build your Maverick.

With the supply chain issues and today's economy, overtime pay would not be sensible. Even though the plant is in Mexico, the workers are union organized so eight hour shifts a day would make sense. We know the demand is there so when the supply issues ease, a third shift would bring production to capacity without going to the expense of overtime pay.

**Approximate production week:
32 units x 8 hour = 256 x 2 shifts =512 per day
512 units x 5 days = 2,560 units a week.
(**Mavericks, Bronco Sports, or combined)

Your numbers are way off. Modern car / small truck lines do not run that slow. I could believe 35+37 or 72 per hour.

They have produced close to 1200 per day for a whole month. You apparently did not read my proof here https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...hats-8-mavericks-every-hour.24665/post-462668

Crap, that's slow. We used to pop out a Chevy S-10 or Isuzu Hombre every 54 seconds back in 1998.

We pumped out 1 pickup and 1 Blazers each minute at Flint truck back in the 90's 2 lines running at least 16 hours a day.

I was checking the operating hours for Hermosillo Plant, and it operates 24/7. Anyone know if that is true??

Is that standard practice of the Auto Industry to operate plants around the clock??

24/7 is 168 hours, with 6000 Mavericks a month, that's about 8 Mavericks every hour...

Capacity of the plant was improved to 300,000 units per year. The plant was top rated in the category of "Compact Premium Conventional" for 2007 in terms of productivity, taking an average of 20.78 hours to assemble a vehicle, per Wiki......

So about 1/4 of Hermosillo is devoted to Mavericks...

I used to work at a local plant that makes Ford frames and we ran 24/7, so I would say that's 100% correct

Probably open 24 hours for deliveries, but last I heard they were running only a single shift there. Low amont of vehicles produced there seem to back this up.

 

[SportyBill]

Wondering if the quality is better during the day than after midnight when they are barely awake...lol

My experience in manufacturing is the day shift is the least productive. Too much management
on hand.

They are adding a 3rd shift in July so I would assume they are running two shifts now. I wonder what their output is for Mavericks?

They build Bronco sports there too. Probably 40% mavericks.

How much do auto assembly line workers make in Mexico?


In the current plant contract, it said the wages range from 184.35 pesos to a maximum of 679.53 pesos per day. In dollars, that's about $8.97 to $33.05 per day.Feb 4, 2022

currently there are only two shifts for Mavericks

 

[KrisYYC]

I wonder how many vehicles Hermosillo is producing per day now that they're running three shifts

 

[MakinDoForNow]

I am worry about the guy forgetting to grease the robots...lol

They have a robot named "Greaser". You have to worry about picking up something you drop.

 

[MakinDoForNow]

Worry not! They only need to be greased every 11000hrs and there is a reminder posted in the preventive maintenance system about it when it's coming up. And the health monitoring software will notice any changes that may have come about due to insufficient greasing.

Industrial robots are pretty great! Just greasing and battery replacements for the first 44,000hrs of runtime.

That works out to dam close to five years plus one leap day!!!!!

Yeah, mean time before major component failure is 100,000hrs of active run time (not including idle time when powered up), which is a solid 10 years of 2 shifts.

Industrial robots are great.
