Model Change Posted by Randy Thatcher [Email] (#22) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Randy Thatcher) on Fri, 2 Dec 2005 08:07:21 In Reply to: Slow boat from Sweden, Ari [Profile/Gallery] , Fri, 2 Dec 2005 07:42:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I do a lot of model changeovers at factories, and they tend to be in July. Sometimes august. Minor changes may take a less than a week of plant shutdown to do. Major changes can take up to 2 weeks.
The craziest change I just read about is how BMW in south carolina is going to do a 4 week Christmas shutdown to put the X5 and Z4 on one line. They currently do it on 2 lines. I was there to automate the conveyor merge or both shops... I guess my logic is getting ripped out.
