Today’s manufacturing facilities face a wide range of production challenges, many of which can be addressed through process improvements, engineering improvements, design for manufacturability, and/or automation techniques/concepts that can help  
streamline the process. Some companies may develop detailed solutions internally and only seek help with implementation while others may not have the expertise in-house to determine the best course of action to meet their business goals. For those customers in the latter category, AMT offers a Current State Manufacturing Analysis (CSMA) to identify possible solutions.

### CHALLENGE

Timpte, a commercial grain trailer body manufacturer, was producing 18 trailers a day in their Nebraska facility, running production with a single shift up to 5 days a week. Most of the manufacturing was done in-house, with several feeder lines providing  parts to the main production line. Timpte wanted to dramatically increase production, acknowledging that it was going to be a lengthy process to get the throughput they desired. The company set a mid-term goal of 25 trailers per day and  
a final goal of 32 trailers per day, all to be completed without increasing headcount. To restate, Timpte planned a 75% increase in production without hiring additional staff.
