In order to accomplish the development of a production system, global best practices had to be beachmarked and implemented in a pilot manufacturing area. The Livonia Modular Strut Department was named the Manufacturing Systems Pilot Area in order to insource the production in one month. m The production system concepts of Project Management, Process Flow, Layout, Material Flow, Ergonomics, Workplace Organization, People-focused Practices, and Supporting Software Development were all integrated as a whole system in the Livonia Modular Strut insourcing project. These techniques enabled the Core Team to implement a competitive manufacturing system, using the specified monorail delivery system, in an extremely short period of time. The new production system was 25% more productive than the original build cell production method. The proposed modifications will allow a 50 % production improvement to the current monorail system.
