LEIPZIG, Germany—Porsche AG’s assembly plant here has been named the “Factory of the Year” (the European equivalent of the Assembly Plant of the Year award) by the Kearney consulting firm and the German trade magazine Produktion. The flexible factory produces the Maycan (a compact battery-powered SUV) along with the Panamera (a four-door gas-engined sedan).
The 22-year-old facility was cited for its digital production initiative and sustainability efforts. Porsche has transformed the plant into an intelligent, connected factory that is smart, lean and green.
