In July of this year Tesla sold more Model 3’s than every Mercedes car combined. Investment Analysts are keen to understand how Tesla's manufacturing line is evolving to keep up with demand.
I’m Joe Justice, the author of the Scrum Hardware Guide and Extreme Manufacturing. I am excited to share this piece (free subscription required) from Seeking Alpha with you because it presents an investor's take on how Tesla is building an agile manufacturing line. It gels how investments ramp up for the right reasons and, technically, how Scrum@Hardware makes that happen. It's short, please do read it, and let me know what you think @JoeJustice0. We'll practice all of these elements during the annual Scrum@Hardware Train the Trainer course this September.
“This is when I discovered that Scrum was being used successfully for hardware, and not just software. It also had a specific name. It was called Extreme Manufacturing. I highly recommend watching the entire video. To my surprise, the presentation cited Tesla, starting at the 30:00 min mark of the video, to describe how Tesla's factory is, in fact, a "build server" that can produce iterations of a vehicle with each product development sprint. We saw this with the Model 3 getting improved suspension, wind noise, and back seats from the earliest versions.” -Seeking Alpha
Warmly, and with respect for your work, Joe Justice. President Scrum@Hardware, Scrum Inc.
