Consistent with its consulting services and manufacturing philosophy in Lean Production, Wes-Tech offers lean cells for Assembly and Testing. In general, Lean Production is a manufacturing system comprising assembly cells, pull system methodology, 100 percent acceptable quality, consistent on-time delivery, respect for people, and maximum utilization of non-depreciable resources, i.e., people and raw materials.
Typically, for intensive assembly operations, lean cells become an integral part of the entire automation solution. In general, such solutions create Manufacturing Cells operating at a high ratio of automated-to-manual work content.
In cases where assembly and testing operations require relatively light automation (just enough to ensure process capability), and where the most cost-effective solution requires manual work content, the preferred solution is typically a semi-automated lean cell. Wes-Tech refers to such cells as Ergonomic Lean Cells.
Wes-Tech designs and builds ergonomic lean cells based on specific customer requirements, yet designed based on sound ergonomic principles. Wes-Tech’s wide-range of experience in such lean cell assembly and test stations can deliver a proven design for most customer requirements. Parts and components of the Wes-Tech ergonomic lean cells are fabricated and installed by leveraging Wes-Tech’s global supply chain network and its facilities in Mexico.
