Keeping Things Lean with BAC
BAC Modular Workshop and Storage Equipment can be configured to suit most lean manufacturing scenarios, offering flexibility and durability. Modularity is a key element of this: allowing you to configure your workplace furniture, such as workbenches, spare parts storage, or tool storage, to eliminate any waste of space, to maximise the efficiency of your workflow, to remain flexible in order to allow ongoing improvement and optimisation, and to permit the highest levels of accuracy and order thus avoiding over-production.
BAC Systems are truly the leaders in providing industrial storage and modular workplace systems for Lean Manufacturing. Our Systems were cleverly engineered around this concept before it became widely a articulated production philosophy as the concepts are a key element in sound and sustainable production. If a business is not striving to adopt the principles of Lean Manufacturing, it is likely to be operating in a wasteful manner which will lead to it being out-competed, risking the livelihood of its workers, and loosing its ability to maintain operations - disaster for any manufacturer.
Choosing to outfit your workshops, production halls and store rooms with BAC Equipment is a significant step towards actively, and passively, applying lean manufacturing principles.
Focussing firstly upon waste prevention, BAC Drawer Storage, with adjustable internal partitions, will provide unique locations for each item to be stored, with a means for labelling those locations. In this fashion, you will always know which parts you have, how much you have, and where you store it. You will also be assured that you are storing the part in a fashion that will not result in any breakages. Parts are compressed without any loss of access to them, and there is nearly no "dead" storage space to speak of in a drawer system. Not only are you elimating wastage in space and wastage in duplication or damage, but also in time as the compression of your storage footprint reduces picking times. You will find that you can store more items (and control this so that you are only storing the relevant items) right there in the location where that item is to be used, eliminating unnecessary motions. This principle stands for both parts and tools in a production facility.
The durability of BAC Equipment has it widely recognised as perhaps the longest-living storage system available. This is a key benefit as it will not require replacement when used within is generous limits. While saving money in the long term due to its very long life and unlimited product life cycle, a person may be concerned to adopt the system on the grounds that the storage equipment or the workbench layouts may become obsolete as the business model changes. This, however, is all accounted for through the modularity of the product. Changes and reconfigurations are a simple matter with BAC Systems. Everything can be readjusted and reconfigured as many times as you need, allowing for changes in the business and preventing reinvesting to replace the equipment. This flexibility also permits changes to account for improved process and practices, being flexible enough to be reconfigured as required.
