Sammanfattning
Skadia Elevator is a global leading provider of transportation solutions within the agricultural
industry. With a rich history spanning over several decades has Skandia Elevator
established itself in the industry as a pioneer and innovator consistently delivering
high-quality service and products all over the world.
As the agricultural industry continues to evolve, so does Skandia Elevator. They are
constantly looking for opportunities and solutions that can increase their production and
benefit their company. This project looks to analyse their assembly department and the
ability to streamline one of their assembly processes concerning their Bucket Elevator Foot.
The end goal is to reduce the final assembly time.
To conduct this study a literature review was held in the early stages to find out the best way
to approach the problem. The streamlining of an assembly process as complex as the one in
this project would require pre-assemblies to be implemented which was the way to move
forward. The process of assembly was documented closely from beginning to end in order to
understand where the most amount of time could be found. During this, interviews were held
with experienced assembly personnel to fully understand how different parts and
components were connected to each other. This was crucial since it opened up for
discussion with the people involved to determine in what ways pre-assemblies could be
supportive for the end assembly. This resulted in a total of eight potential pre-assembly
options that were listed and evaluated based on including components, storage availability
and time. To finalise the process of implementation was looked at to make a decision.
