• Work shop areas were reorganized and improved with few low cost but significant changes.

• Materials were moved closer to the assemblers according to the assembly steps for easy access, reduction of

movement, and waiting time.

value added activities via value stream mapping and other Lean tools.

• Assembly times were reduced in 30%, and machining idle times were reduced 10% per machine.
