Highly trained and qualified personnel
The preconditions for first-class quality not only include a precise production process with intensive checks and tested, high-quality parts, but above all also highly motivated and well-trained personnel. Only specialist personnel are employed in minibus production.
This is why Mercedes-Benz Minibus GmbH has an above-average commitment to the training of young people: around ten percent of the production workforce are trainees. Dortmund carries out training in five professional areas: body and vehicle assembly, automotive mechatronics, paintwork, warehouse logistics and administration.
Completion of this training does not bring learning to an end at Mercedes-Benz, however: the further training requirements of every single employee are assessed during annual interviews, and a training schedule is prepared on this basis. This ensures that the knowledge and capabilities of all employees are always up-to-date. The aim is after all to further consolidate the leading position of Mercedes-Benz minibuses in western Europe.
