Process
Manual end-of-line case palletizing
Findings
Preliminary view only: line rate and product variation still need to be checked before a palletizing cell is treated as the working approach.
High product variation may reduce the cycle time a cell can hold. This finding is not a feasibility approval.
Missing Inputs
- case dimensions and weights
- pallet patterns
- peak line rate
- available footprint
- SKU change frequency
Options to Investigate
Approaches to investigate: improve the manual station, introduce lifting assistance, or assess a palletizing cell. The next comparison depends on case weights, line rate, product variation and available space.
Next Step
Collect case weights, the main pallet patterns, the line rate, and the floor space at the station.
