Liftco is a premier provider of lifting mechanism solutions for the RV and marine industry located in Elkhart, Indiana.
Lifco has diversified its product portfolio across a variety of industries and saw an opportunity to advance their production processes. In order to accommodate the new production requirements, Liftco needed to improve and modernize the overall plant layout and ergonomics. Industry Labs analyzed the current plant operations and developed a revised plant layout in CAD. The team also planned and managed the implementation of the new layout and conducted 5S activities to ensure sustainability of each manufacturing cell.
The project resulted in an estimated 50% increase in throughput and improved safety and ergonomics in compliance with OSHA. An additional 5,000 square feet of plant floor space was freed up for future growth.
This project was completed in collaboration with enFocus.
