The whole work cell will be designed so that the assembly line will be both continuous and synchronized. I am assured that the floor space now available will be more than adequate and could even be reduced by approximately 50 % of the space now allocated to production, upon completion of the project. Two workers will be relocated to other parts of the man ...
