It is no wonder why companies commited to Lean Manufacturing have adopted the Ecoflex system.
Ecoflex provides the quickest method possible to get started and put ideas for continuous improvement into application easily and with simplicity. The versatility of the Ecoflex system can assist in introducing the Kaizen attidude through its ability to quickly configure and re-configure material handling solutions.
Worldwide, the coated pipe and joint system is recongized as the industry standard tool for successfully introducing Lean Manufacturing into production environments.
Operating against the pressures of ever-faster production cycles, it is essential that companies can adjust their material handling and logistical processes at the drop of a hat.
CONVENTIONAL MUDA ASSEMBLY
Increased productivity due to modular Ecoflex system: the use of smaller containers delivered by flow racks at the picking side helps to streamline overall operations.

Excessive stock levels generate additional operating expenses. The modular structure of the Ecoflex system – featuring small, open containers on marketplace racks – provides the basis for lean manufacturing material supply directly at the production line.
CONVENTIONAL MUDA TRANSPORT

The Ecoflex system improves the overall structure of each workspace, as the parts to be assembled are available to operators in small open containers directly next to the production line delivered in custom carts and trolleys. Therefore, staff can focus entirely on value-adding operations.
CONVENTIONAL MUDA SUPPLY

Ecoflex systems are fed and replenished by lightweight and flexible carts and trolleys directly into lineside flow racks. This guarantees a continuous supply of parts and components to the assembly line without any interruptions, while also preventing muda associated with non-value-adding “motion” as well as muda caused by “waiting”.
