Final thesis in the field of production planning for body shop construction from May 2025

Life is always about becoming... In life it is about going on a journey to become the best version of our future self. As we discover new things, we face challenges, master them and grow beyond us.

Apply to Mercedes-Benz and find the area where you can develop your talents individually. You will be supported by visionary colleagues who share your pioneering spirit. Joining us means becoming part of a global team whose goal is to build the most desirable cars in the world. Together for excellence.

Number: MER0003KHC Are you looking for exciting tasks, diverse projects and new challenges in the national and international environment? Are you looking for the space to sustainably influence the future production of our products and to generate real added value for the production of vehicles of the future? You are open-minded, motivated and communicative and are looking for a pleasant and collegial working environment with a lot of design space?

Then you're right with us! Mercedes-Benz Group AG is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. With Mercedes-Benz AG, the vehicle manufacturer is one of the largest providers of premium and luxury cars and vans. In production planning, we plan buildings, plants and processes to produce vehicles at our national and international locations. The primary body design has the task of planning and commissioning the production plants for the production of the raw body bodies. In the body blank, sheet metal parts are assembled into a body by means of the most modern joining technologies according to a predetermined joining sequence in several production sections. The highly automated production facilities also generate energy consumption, which we want to predict better for the future. Here we are working on the fact that we can precisely determine this through a simulation and thus also derive measures to save energy. As part of this activity, we offer a graduate thesis, which includes: Analysis of which energy consumers are present in the production plants and of relevance performing a search and analysis, which energy consumptions to be expected are already detected on the system side or what is necessary to be able to detect further energy consumption self-employed identification of values from various sources, such as internal and external systems, on-site recordings, measurements from test cells and combining the best possible values; an intensive exchange with the neighbouring planning teams, maintenance, production and RD is necessary performing a search and analysis of how these individual real values can be standardized, so that the energy consumption to be expected can already be simulated in a planning phase without deviating too much from the real values Identification, development and documentation of new calculation models such as these energy consumption values are to be determined representatively in crude production plants in order to render them transparent and comparable and to establish them as a future standard at Mercedes Benz Planning of the developed key figures based on projects already existing or planned and showing both potential and limits Development and testing of the existing prototype on the basis of the above-mentioned searches and analyses for the simulation of energy consumption based on planning levels The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
