Flow-Through Workstations Drive Production at Automotive Plant
Flexibility and efficiency are essential to the success of an automotive parts manufacturer, as its OEM customers are always adding new products and updating standards. Todd Emmons, an engineer in the automotive business unit for Johnson Controls, kept this in mind as he built a new production facility in Suwanee, GA.
At the Georgia plant, workers assemble seats, door panels, power controls, air bags, various types of brackets and buttons and other interior parts for the Kia Sorento. Nearly 500 cars a day move through the 125,000-square-foot facility.
