Acme, Mich. —Chrysler Group LLC said Monday it will expand its World Class Manufacturing Academy in Warren to help train more workers and add new training scenarios and areas to help improve quality.

The company opened the academy in January 2012. It plans by September to add 15,000 square feet to the center, which will bring the total square feet to 40,000, said Mauro Pino, Chrysler’s vice president of vehicle assembly operations and head of World Class Manufacturing, during the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars.

Chrysler’s “World Class Manufacturing” system is parent Fiat SpA’s name for the production system, which has been patterned after Toyota Motor Corp.’s lauded system.
