Just-in-sequence supply
-
LKE KLT shelf wagon and platform wagon already in use

Small raw units are collected from the production line in KLT and picked > Risk of overflow as employee operates several machines simultaneously
-
Use of production racks for material supply at the workplace, these are inflexible and not ergonomic

- No canting of the floor with one-sided loading
- Individual spring force possible
