FIFO gravity rack with wheels 22110953

1 498.04 Eur without VAT

(1 812.63 Eur with VAT)

FIFO gravity rack with wheels from a tubular modular system. It includes a FIFO (First in, First out) system, which uses a classic drop rack. With the help of this system, e.g. boxes with products are inserted from one side, which, after being placed, travel to the end of the roller track so that they are unloaded from the other side of the shelving system.

What is lean manufacturing?

Lean manufacturing, also known as lean production, is a comprehensive system through which a company strives to achieve maximum efficiency and minimize waste in all areas of its operations. The principles of lean, often referred to simply as "lean," form the foundation of this strategy and include optimizing processes and eliminating unnecessary operations.

One of the key elements of lean manufacturing is the 5S method, which helps companies achieve better organization of the work environment. By applying the principles of 5S (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke), it is possible to use the workspace more efficiently and more easily identify and solve problems. Other significant methods within lean manufacturing include Lean Six Sigma, which focuses on identifying and eliminating the causes of errors and defects, and the Kanban method, which is used to visualize work processes and monitor the flow of materials, as well as the SMED method.

Although the concept of lean manufacturing has its origins in the production system established in Henry Ford's factories, it is most commonly associated with the Japanese company Toyota.

 

Optimization of material flow through a flexible pipe system


The fundamental aim of lean manufacturing is to produce more with lower inventory, fewer workers, and using less space, all of which are associated with reduced costs. This is achieved through the use of assemblies, workstations, or Kanban racks, which provide comprehensive or partial lean solutions. These include shelving assemblies and work furniture made, for example, from aluminum profiles or pipe modular systems. An important component of these assemblies is roller tracks, which are used for moving parts, containers, packages, etc. Their use reduces the physical strain on workers and ensures faster, uncomplicated, and stress-free work.

 

The goal of using assemblies is to achieve stable, flexible, and standardized production through optimization and improved material flow. This goes hand in hand with reducing operating costs and increasing work productivity. Moreover, existing assemblies can be modified at any time and in any way without significant financial costs.

 

You can introduce lean manufacturing gradually

 

Contrary to the myths surrounding lean manufacturing, there's no need to implement radical changes throughout the entire company all at once. Yes, lean manufacturing can be applied across the board, but it's also possible to consider where it makes sense to start within the company. Lean management serves as a strategic approach to gradually introducing lean manufacturing, focusing on continuous process improvement and engaging employees at all levels of the organization. Thanks to the modular nature of the construction system, optimization of workflows can occur gradually. So, if you're considering implementing lean manufacturing principles in your company, start today. Even a small change can bring significant benefits to your company, which is invaluable in today's world.
