Engineering Services
John Deere began in 1837 as a mechanical engineering company, with our founder developing a new innovative plow share that met the needs of a new generation of farmers.This customer focus remains as the Engineering Services group at the technology center designs new products, improve cost and reliability through computational fluid dynamics and finite-element analysis, and document mechanical and wiring harness designs.Each practice area supports products across the enterprise, including tractors, combines, seeding equipment, balers, lawn mowers, 4 wheel utility vehicles, and large construction equipment. Reliability engineering and cost analysis are areas of future focus to provide improved competitiveness to John Deere.
Manufacturing Services
The Manufacturing Services group, by assisting manufacturing engineers across the John Deere enterprise in their virtual build activities, is creating opportunities to reduce the time involved in the product development cycle. Whether it is activities like tool design, computer based process planning, or factory simulations, Manufacturing Services is able to create a virtual representation of what the manufacturing process would look like even before a single physical build is required.
The group leverages the vast pool of world class manufacturing service talent in India to increase the organizational speed, and simultaneously provides shared service resources to offset peak and variable resource requirements, benefiting John Deere businesses worldwide.
