The aim of this Master thesis is to explore the impact of design parameters on material flow efficiency in terms of space and time utilization. The factory material flow design process is an essential part of any manufacturing. The challenge for this project was to expose the components for the assembly operator within the space designated for materials at the workstation, meanwhile minimizing non-value-adding work and creating good ergonomics so that operators can achieve high workstation performance. In this study a new General Motors Powertrain manufacturing plant was considered as a case...
