9. Suggestion to improvements 1/2
Getting materials from foreign country will be better for lower cost and
better quality.
Work-cell space is very big and it’s not used, so they should manage the space
well by expand the work space so it’s can serve 9 cars instated of 6 cars.
Motivate workers based on their monthly performance.
Redecorate the work space to be more attractive to the customers.
Make a loyal program for customers.
10. Suggestion to improvements 2/2
Make the warehouse close to the working area so workers can get their
materials faster instead of waiting for almost 30Min.
Increased use of equipment.
Manage inventory well by define how much does one car need to be polished
and therefore worker should only get the required materials no more no less.
Adopt a new technology to save time and cost.
Decrees number of workers for one car from 4 to 3 per car, and use the extra
workers to work on other cars.
