설명
The Global Artisan Innovation Center (GAIC) unites the former Pre-Production Operations (PPO) for Vehicles in Warren, the Pre-Production Operations for Global Propulsion Systems (GPS) in Pontiac, their counterpart facilities in China, Brazil and South Korea as well as the Cadillac Artisan Center – Home of the Cadillac Celestiq – and Tooling Equipment International (TEI) in Livonia.
In this center of excellence, GM’s Global Manufacturing Engineering (ME) Team is challenging the limits of what is possible and embracing agility to reimagine how to build next generations of Vehicles and Propulsion Systems. Working cross-functionally, we bring together our most talented Skilled Trades alongside ME Engineers, Product Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Program Management and many other areas of expertise.
In this highly technical organization, we embrace new technologies like AI and Virtual Reality, build all GM Prototype Engines, Transmissions, Electric Drive Units, Pre-Production Cars and Trucks as well as hand build GM’s most luxurious production vehicles like the highly bespoke Cadillac Celestiq and other GM curated Limited Edition vehicles.
Our diverse team combined with our flexible Machining, Tooling and Stamping (MTS) shop enables the Global Artisan Innovation Center to successfully compete with outside suppliers to support GM Engineering and GM Manufacturing with tasks, projects or builds that are not well-suited for high volume plants.
