Trolleys are a natural application
for LeanTek and Lean Manufacturing. As components
become increasingly complex, so the need for greater
safety increases.
Only a highly modular structure can respond to
such demands without increasing design costs. |

LeanTek takes an active role in eliminating
the hidden Muda of engineering waste, because
when traditional rigid structures are used, your
engineers have to devote considerable amounts
of their time to trolley design and validation.
|
Rigid systems leave no margin for design error,
because any such error would mean starting all
over again, resulting in major cost increases
and missed deadlines. LeanTek helps reduce development
time and costs. |

Illustration of how to eliminate the
muda caused by transport.
Nothing is more economical than manually-operated
LeanTek trolleys to transport components from
the supermarket to the line-side.
Kaizen progressively reduces the distances travelled
by components within the plant, to the point of
eliminating small motorized trains, where this
is a feasible option.

LeanTek trolleys adapt to suit every type of industry.
For example, some applications require ESD conductivity
to remove static electricity, whilst others need extra
protection against dust.
The flexibility of LeanTek means that trolleys can evolve
to cope with varying conditions by delivering extra
strength, vibration damping, etc.
The structural tubes are available in a wide range of
colours. In addition to complying with your company
corporate identity manual, this can be very useful in
the visual management required by the Lean Manufacturing
method. For example, red is used for rejects, and yellow
for hazardous areas. |
