How automotive manufacturers can benefit from seasonal shutdowns

How automotive manufacturers can benefit from seasonal shutdowns

It’s been a long tradition for manufacturers in the automotive industry to benefit from a seasonal shutdown in production and use it as a period to review environments without the pressures of production.

During this time, the shutdown not only offers a window to conduct maintenance and facility upgrades, but it also helps to manage production schedules, in line with customer demands.

With the Christmas period coming up and most production lines taking a two-week break, is it time you look around your factory and identify areas for improvement?

Contact us on 0191 386 1240 or email info@orgatexuk.co.uk to book a site visit or to request a demo and samples of our visual communication products for the automotive industry.

Transform your floor for efficient practices

Applying floor markings can support efficient production practices in a variety of ways. Long-lasting and easy to apply, our floor marking tape can freshen up your storage areas, making it quicker and safer to identify where items belong.

Available in a range of colours, our tape supports colour coding in relation to 5S, which is often followed by the automotive industry. Our guide here has more guidance on 5S floor markings.

Whilst your production line is shutdown, it may be a good opportunity to test out a new workshop layout – our tape can also support in this.

Explore our range of floor markings here, and look forward to a refreshed workplace in 2024.
