This project was designed to reduce In-Process material
by 75% and convert Plant Flow from old push style to new Mono-Rail
Type Pull Manufacturing Cell Style. Project was very successful
at reducing in-process material, increasing floor space and improving
quality.
Old system of handling raw material
for reels of cable.
New process for handling bulk
storage of raw cable.
Old system of cutting entire orders of bulk cable
and pushing to each station.
New process for cutting smaller quantities to
allow for continuous flow of material along Mono-Rail system.
Old system of performing one operation on entire
order, then pushing to next operation somewhere else in plant.
New process of using Cell Manufacturing allowing
similar jobs to flow together down one cell line.
