Manual Production Components Aid in Lean Manufacturing
November 21, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
BUCHANAN, Mich. — Bosch Rexroth Corp.'s new manual production components reportedly aid in lean manufacturing systems implementation, helping companies to reduce waste and increase productivity. The new Manual Production Systems (MPS) product line delivers configurable products to create production systems. Based on Rexroth's modular aluminum framing components and manual workplace components, the MPS products facilitate following lean production principles.
Since production demands change, MPS gives the ability to adapt quickly as demand dictates. Users can configure ergonomic workstations to fit dimensional and functional needs. Many MPS components, such as complete workstations, tabletops, flow racks, material shelves and other accessories, are ESD-safe, expanding the application range of lean manufacturing systems.
To speed design and implementation, users can quickly design workstations and material flow racks with MPScalc design software. MPScalc captures critical parameters such as dimensions, material type and quantity, and allows users to design a workstation, calculate its price and produce accurate 3-D drawings with a few mouse clicks.
