While working within AutoCAD, users can see layout improvements instantly as well as be able to quantify how much money is being wasted on Non Value Added processes by un-necessary walking around the factory. Using an AutoCAD layout and an Excel routing file, engineers can see how lean their factory can be. Stationary part studies demonstrate the costs and times associated with a part that is manually moved or worked on in a non-moving location. Moving studies calculate the times, costs, and distances associated with an assembly line that is worked on while moving.
