(1 Employee) U-Shaped Workstations

U-Shape Workstation

Goodwill has U-Shaped workstations. The purpose of this type of workstation is to improve product quality and productivity while keeping costs low by eliminating all waste in the production system . U shaped work stations arrange tools and products around a U-shaped line in the order to the production operator. One employee supervises both the entrance and the exit of the product line . This requires operators to be multi-skilled to operate several different processes. Each workstation has been visually taped by blue lines to show where everything goes and to help the workstation support through Visual Management. This type of process makes it easier for the employee by eliminating the amounts of steps and bends and twists to perform their daily duties making the employee more efficient.
