For example while at work using the right tool to building a metal tower with a variety of hardware (Meaning Nuts & Bolts) and pounder on the fact if i should carry two crescent wrenches that can fit all sorts of hardware sizes. It would also be easier to keep track of just two wrenches, the down flaw is that it is also very time consuming to work with. Having to crank down and reposition to repeat the process while building a tower. Then there is the socket wrench set that has all the sizes you need but there’s multiple pieces to keep track which is the down side but the up side is you don't have to reposition while cranking down on your hardware and tightening bolts to the frame becomes a much faster process. Thinking which tool is better suited for the

One of the biggest needs for improvement was the assembly process. Although several changes were made throughout the years, quality and efficiency still fell below expectations. Hinrichs implemented the newly developed assembly which consists of two separate work stations that allowed operators in the adjacent stations to share the expensive balancer machine. These assembly cells were much more efficient as workers were no longer forced to wait for another person or machine in the process. Each cell was built like the other with quick turn set-up which created flexibility in the process while also reducing tooling inventory by almost a half. Now cells

In the 1990’s Black and Decker had a great position in the market for their products to appeal to the Professional Industrial segment and the Consumer segment but when it came to the Professional Tradesmen segment they were lacking.

In most cases, computer controlled machinery affixes components onto the casing using advanced adhesives. However, because of incompatibility issues between materials, the batteries and electric motors have to be bolted on to the casing by hand, using power tools. Operatives work on the line, each making an average of 12 bolts onto the casing, ie, 1 person bolts the battery and then someone further down the line bolts the electric motor. The inspection section for the back casing of the body is the most active, the rejection rate for loose components at this point is approximately 1.2 %. A further 0.5% are rejected at final inspection, causing expensive rework situations. There is a staff turnover of 25% per annum amongst such operatives in the back casing sub assembly section.
