LOW-TO-MEDIUM-VOLUME HIGH-LEVEL ASSEMBLY (HLA) projects are often the most inefficient projects in electronics manufacturing services (EMS). While the work cell areas may be efficiently arranged for actual assembly operations, HLA projects are normally built in tucked away areas where there is space for a project that may not be built every day. There isn't a huge of amount of optimization effort beyond initial setup because the payback on a single project typically doesn't justify it. And, since these projects are added infrequently, often as an additional requirement from a customer with higher volume work, they are often set up in whatever space is available when the need arises.
