When “Best” is Hard to Find

  • Listen to the workers on the line
  • Use ergonomic standards and

guidelines

  • Poka Yoke (Error Proofing)
  • Consider both loading and unloading
  • Flexibility (Part Design Changes)
  • Start to Finish (and back again)

The Challenge…

  • Load engine parts in one building
  • Multiple parts (for several models)
  • Arrange for pulling in correct order
  • Transport to assembly building, line
  • Manually maneuver into position
  • Pull parts ergonomically

The Team…

  • Automotive Engine Assembler (user)
  • Logistics Company (load carts)
  • Material Handling Distributor
  • Cart Manufacturer
  • Missing: Line Representation!
