FEATURED CASE STUDY

How We Improved Efficiencies

Our customer is a global OEM that specializes in manufacturing construction, agricultural, ground maintenance, and industrial vehicle equipment.

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 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
