PROCESS IMPROVEMENT & DIGITAL MANUFACTURING​

Download
Case Study

PROJECT SCOPE

  • Analyze complete RV assembly process from chassis integration to final inspection.​
  • Identify bottlenecks impacting production throughput and delivery schedules.​
  • Evaluate labor utilization across fabrication, assembly, wiring, plumbing, and finishing operations.​
  • Assess product variation affecting fit-up of cabinets, wall panels, and slide-out systems.​
  • Develop improvement roadmap using Lean Manufacturing and Digital Twin methodologies.​

APPROACH

  • Conducted Time Studies and Standard Work analysis across critical stations.​
  • Performed Value Stream Mapping to identify non-value-added activities.​
  • Developed a Digital Twin simulation model of RV assembly operations.​
  • Designed assembly fixtures for repeatable component positioning.​
  • Created Digital Work Instructions for assembly operators.​
  • Implemented Line Balancing across major assembly zones.​

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Streamlined operations resulting in reduced assembly cycle times..​
  • Reduced engineering lead time through process standardization.​
  • Reduced rework associated with fitment issues by 35%.​
  • Standardized assembly processes across multiple production lines.​
