First Jeep Compass Built in India Rolls Off Assembly Line

The Compass is the first car in Jeep's lineup to be built in India, and FCA plans to bring the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler to the Ranjangaon facility later on. 

India is the latest conquest for FCA, joining Brazil, Mexico, and China on the list of external markets that produce Jeep's latest vehicles. The Compass will be solely built at the facility in Ranjangaon, which will produce and export all of Jeep's right-hand-drive Compasses for global distribution.

To stifle any worries about quality, the Ranjangaon plant will adhere to the World Class Manufacturing initiative. This plan features a set of strict guidelines that plants must follow to improve quality, minimize manufacturing scrap, and promote safe operations. WCM is also designed to give workers a sense of individuality and power, encouraging employees to provide suggestions and improvements to make the company better. This initiative provides a well-organized and ethical manufacturing process to make sure the people and products are cared for properly.
