Conveyor saves NUMMI $1.5 million

摘要

This GM/Toyota auto plant needs to move work in process 800 yards from their assembly line to a new paint shop. The solution saves money and floor space. Painting processes have changed a great deal since the paint shop at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc.'s Fremont, Calif. plant was built originally in 1962. Those were the days when more emphasis was put on body fins and mirrors for hanging fuzzy dice than on long-life paint jobs with multiple coats, anti-chipping layers, and clear coats.
