In 2015 Batz Kunshan plant define a new strategy for manufacture stamped parts in house, building a new factory next to current plant.

In order to optimize our Batz Kunshan process, we are doing a layout change improving all process productivities.

– Stamping machine and welding machines in new plant, building adapted for new equipment machines.
– Injection machines and assembly lines in old plant.

In the same way, with the new layout, we define to improve logistic process flow.

– Assembly line redesign:
o Working in U shape layout, to improve productivity and material feeding.
o Standard balance to define material flow for each line. Improving our assembly line productivities

– Logistic train: Material flow from warehouse to assembly lines each 20 minutes using a train to supply all assembly lines
o Taking in account material mixing, defining each assembly line with a color (visual aid) and trazability system.
o Defining in warehouse a supermarket to supply the train, defining supermarket, assembly line and boxes with a label color for each assembly line.
o Defining flow rack and supermarket dimension according a safety stock to not stop material feeding in the line
