I’m working on improving the design of our machines for lean manufacturing, and hear that an auto-eject feature can support this work. If this is so, can you clarify how?
Auto-eject is a critical aspect of designing a lean cell, which only makes sense in the context of applying lean thinking to the entire cell conception. Without it, it’s just one more device with limited benefits. The answer to the question is the same as always: start from the operator’s movements and look at the flow of parts. If you work with the operators themselves to find a better compromise for both you’ll get a leaner cell, where auto-eject will help disproportionately.
