1. Rapidly Build Flexible Production Lines
Quick Changeover: Lean tubing, consisting of connectors and fittings, requires no welding or precision machining. Production line workers can manually reassemble or adjust the production line layout within hours according to the new product's process flow, minimizing downtime.
Multi-Product Compatibility: Supports the creation of production workbenches optimized for specific products, adapting to the needs of the small appliance industry.
2. Optimize Logistics and Workstation Cycle Time
Flow Rack: Utilizing lean tubing to build sloping flow racks enables automatic "FIFO" material replenishment, ensuring that small assembly parts (such as screws, circuit boards, and plastic housings) are always within reach of employees, reducing unnecessary movement and bending.
Low-Cost Automation (LCIA): Utilizing lean tubing and gravity principles to design simple mechanical mechanisms for automatic parts flipping, sliding, or conveying, improving production efficiency without the need for motor drives.
3. Improved Space Utilization and Cleanliness
Customized Warehousing: Addressing the small size and fragmented components of small household appliances, lean pipe systems can be configured to create the most compact shelving, significantly improving workshop space efficiency and reducing inventory backlog.
5S On-Site Management: Lean pipe systems are typically brightly colored and easy to clean, facilitating standardized management in the workshop, clearly defining tool and material locations, and reducing search time.
4. Improved Employee Working Environment (Human Factors Engineering)
Ergonomic Workbenches: Adjusting workbench height and tool rack positions according to employee height reduces work fatigue, improves assembly accuracy, and lowers occupational injuries caused by repetitive movements.
Safety and Environmental Protection: Lean pipe surfaces are coated with multiple layers of plastic, with rounded, burr-free edges, making them safer than traditional iron racks. The materials are also recyclable, meeting the green production requirements of modern factories.
