Finding & Recommendations

We found that the target was not achieved even when only 20% of the vehicles were loaded on the system

Lack of hangers at one of the loading stations lead to filling up of buffer and causing blockage at a production shop

• Relocating a portion of another underutilized buffer helped achieve throughput when 40 to 80 % of the vehicles were loaded onto the conveyor

A paint shop system where vehicles are unloaded from the conveyor system was running at its full capacity

• Installation or expanding the existing paint shop would allow the conveyor system to handle 100% of the vehicle being loaded
