MANUFACTURING PROCESS OPTIMIZATION – RECREATIONAL VEHICLES ​

Download
Case Study

PROJECT SCOPE

  • Improve production throughput for high-mix, low-volume custom van builds.​
  • Reduce assembly delays caused by labor-intensive interior installations.​
  • Standardize manufacturing processes while maintaining customization flexibility.​
  • Increase production capacity without expanding the manufacturing footprint.​

APPROACH

  • Conducted time studies to establish standard work across cabinetry and electrical.
  • Redesigned workstation layouts and material flow to minimize operator movement.​
  • Developed modular assembly fixtures for cabinets and interior modules.​
  • Introduced digital work instructions with visual assembly sequences.​
  • Balanced production workloads to eliminate bottlenecks.​

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Increased production capacity by 25% without additional floor space.​
  • Reduced assembly labor hours by 18% through standardized work.​
  • Improved first-pass build quality by 30%.​
  • Reduced operator training time by using digital work instructions.​
  • Improved schedule adherence through balanced production flow.
