Frequently Asked Questions

Kitting transforms assembly operations by pre-organizing components into ready-to-use packages, dramatically reducing production line inefficiencies. This process cuts assembly time by eliminating parts searching and sorting at workstations. Modern kitting operations use barcode scanning and computerized picking systems to ensure accuracy, while reducing line-side inventory footprint and material handling time. The result is streamlined production flow with significantly reduced operator motion and decision-making time.

Kitting directly impacts manufacturing efficiency by eliminating non-value-added activities at the assembly line. Kitting reduces production line footprint, minimizes material handling time and cuts assembly errors by presenting components in precise build sequence. This organization method speeds up operator training time, reduces work-in-progress inventory and enables faster production line changeovers. The systematic approach ensures consistent assembly processes while maximizing workplace efficiency.

Kitting focuses on pre-production efficiency gains by organizing components for a more streamlined assembly line. Proper kitting reduces material handling time and workstation space requirements. Packing, on the other hand, handles finished goods preparation for shipping. While kitting accelerates production by providing organized, complete component sets, packing focuses on efficient product protection for its transportation. Kitting’s efficiency benefits occur during production, while packing streamlines the shipping process.
