AIA: Lockheed Martin Slashes Cycle Times and Costs With Carts
Lockheed Martin plans to increase productivity and product quality while reducing overall costs for manufacturing activity by implementing electronic work instructions (EWI) in its Fort Worth, TX, and Marietta, GA, aeronautics manufacturing facilities. Both locations have gone live with EWI and deployed hundreds of Ergotron Inc.'s (St. Paul, MN) HD Carts to help implement the process.
Lockheed Martin is process-oriented. The company uses computers throughout its facilities so workers can quickly access information. However, the fast-paced and rugged manufacturing environment presents serious challenges for computer equipment. For this reason, Lockheed Martin turned to Ergotron and its HD Cart to maximize valuable floor space and provide mobility for easy manufacturing reconfiguration.
