The Customer

A global OEM that specializes in manufacturing construction, agricultural, ground maintenance, and industrial vehicle equipment.

Improving Efficiencies Every Step of the Way

By taking over assembly of hoods, we saved our customer more than just storage space.

Background & Situation

The customer assembled hoods line-side in their factory and was running into issues that put a strain on their people, floor space, and productivity.

  • Outdoor storage exposed hoods to the elements, increasing risk of damage
  • The manual, labor-dependent production process limited their ability to meet demand
  • Inefficiencies in storage created material handling problems for assembly
  • Significant amount of factory space was consumed for both storage of inventory and the assembly process
