THE “ASK”
Schneider Electric asked that we duplicate their existing work in process carts, and add push handles to make them easier to use on the floor. Also, we had a time constraint of two-weeks to turn the carts around. They were ramping up their weekend shift and needed more carts.
WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THE SPECS
Separation of parts in each of the openings while ensuring that the parts were conveniently placed close to one another. This allowed the worker to load part a, b and c in a segregated fashion but within reach, sequentially.
HOW WE HELP THE CUSTOMER
We had no prints. We needed to get creative by taking field measurements and reverse engineering the pieces. We visited to do “go and sees” to understand the improvements needed. We were able to simplify the process by ordering the casters from the vendor and assembling.
