Our recent trip to the MINI factory in Oxford was a great success, providing our A Level Business and DT pupils with a first-hand look at world-class manufacturing in action. The experience was brilliantly aligned with key curriculum topics, particularly Lean Production and Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory control. Seeing these principles applied in a real-world setting deepened pupils’ understanding and brought their classroom learning to life.
The tour showcased MINI’s impressive commitment to efficiency, innovation, and sustainability. Pupils were captivated by the seamless coordination between robotics and human expertise, as well as the precision required for JIT manufacturing. Witnessing how waste is minimised and production optimised reinforced their knowledge in a practical and engaging way.
Another highlight was the praise our pupils received from MINI staff for their enthusiasm, curiosity, and impeccable manners. Overall, the trip was an enriching and inspiring experience, providing invaluable insights into modern manufacturing.
