Since conversion to the continuous flow line using the aluminum framing carts, C & D now has only eight or nine work-in-progress chairs that are all actually being worked on, instead of just waiting for the next step that might be a day away.
“When we decided to convert the line from batch and queue to continuous flow, we chose Rexroth aluminum framing because of its ease of construction, its vast flexibility, and its fit and finish,” said Newham. “There is no welding or painting involved, so it greatly simplifies and speeds up construction to keep production moving.” Newham also noted the appeal of the aluminum framing's finished, durable, anodized coating, which gives C & D a congruent, professional look throughout the facility.
