Case Studies

Challenge:

There is a significant start-up cost for fabricators to begin manufacturing a new product line. Fabricators need to increase capacities and efficiency in their manufacturing facility that, in turn, increases profitability and quality.

Solution:

Chelsea Building Products’ Technical Service team studies the current manufacturing operation, then provides a plant layout of the functional arrangement of the various machines and equipment found throughout the entire facility. The team then delivers guidance to the production personnel on best operating practices, providing a streamlined process and labor cost reductions. The customer specific plant layout is created to achieve maximum efficiency, productivity, and continuous flow manufacturing, reducing work-in progress (WIP).
