An organized production line is an efficient and productive line. Organizing your product for increased throughput and revenue is often a goal of many manufacturers at the start of the year. Reducing changeover time is another.
Change parts are often a problem area for keeping your line clean and organized, and when Morrison service technicians go into plants, they usually see them lying around on the ground rather than stored in a safe place. And when these change parts are not stored in one location, it really ticks up the changeover time.
Finding a good storage area and system to store your change parts is critical to production. Not only does it speed up changeover time, but it will reduce the cost of replacement parts due to loss or damage from lack of storage. That’s why Morrison recommends parts carts to house your system’s change parts.
A parts cart, sometimes referred to as storage units, space savers, and rolling storage, is designed specifically to easily and neatly store all of your container handling sets. They are low-cost additions to your floor that can have big impact.
An alternative storage option to a parts cart is a built-in storage area on your system. This keeps your parts near the machine where the changeover is going to occur.
