...All the information necessary to make decisions is immediately and dynamically accessible in order to enhance performance and efficiency to optimize product design and strategy, reduce cycle times, improve the quote-to-close conversion rate and boost purchasing performance and optimize time-to-market.

...Although there have been numerous studies on this topic, most of them deal with partial issues rather than the continuous performance improvement of the whole assembly line, which this paper addresses. To develop the framework, WEMax categorized a manned assembly line into five analysis levels (workstation, worker, operation cycle, work element, and unit motion), and identified user requirements on each level. Among these five, the workstation level supports line balancing, while the other four (worker, operation cycle, work element, and unit motion) address work process improvement. The WEMax framework has been implemented and tested with various examples from Korean assembly-line-based manufacturers.
