Chrysler Group's Indiana Transmission Plant II (Kokomo, IN) manufactures five-speed, rear-wheel-drive transmissions for a number of models, including the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 600,000-square-foot plant opened in late 2003 and employs around 480 workers.
As part of an effort to maximize both worker safety and efficiency, Chrysler Group decided to make its facility as forklift free as possible. To this end, the company uses carts from Topper Industrial (Sturtevant, WI) to deliver parts to the assembly line and take away finished product.
