Implementation of Assembly and Balancing Line Aiming at Operational Excellence in Pre-Hospital Transport Equipment

In contemporary times, a corporation must provide rapid and faultless production to create differentiated, high-quality items that satisfy market need and standards, also taking into account the available industrial capacities. This study concentrates on optimizing the assembly line for pre-hospital transport equipment and instituting Standard Work across many workstations to enhance production efficiency. Consequently, operational excellence and strategies associated with continuous improvement were considered. Improvements in the assembly line and its edge facilitated a reduction in tasks, enabling a balanced workload among operators and optimizing the manufacturing process. A study was conducted on the durations and techniques employed in the different assembly processes and corresponding workstations for each product family. A comparison was conducted between the data reflecting the company’s baseline state and the outcomes achieved in this project. The implemented adjustments and their influence on the entire production process were assessed.
