Abstract

Volkswagen Navarra has traditionally manufactured one model at a time. However, in 2019, to the assembly of VW270, to-be-launched in July 2017, a second variant will be incorporated, VW216. Consequently, the company will start applying a simultaneous twomodel production for the first time in its history. This new strategy encounters many challenges for which Volkswagen Navarra needs to prepare in advance. Personnel needs is one of them. For this purpose, both general and industry-specific variables have been studied to develop a template for Final Revision Shop, the last phase in a vehicle’s production procedure. Moreover, heuristics has been incorporated in the design of a stepwise logical methodology to systemize the design of hiring calendars. Despite the complexity inherent to the incorporation of real life specifications in an operational model, both proposed methods are simple and straightforward attempting to make a direct impact on its subsequent extension and future applications.
