Husky Production System: Beneficial for the Company and Customers

At Husky Corporation, on-time delivery of customer orders drives everything. Orders of fueling products built today are shipped tomorrow. The remarkable production system creates and ships 99.5 percent of all orders in four days. In 2004, Husky Corporation decided to eliminate finished goods inventory and moved to a production system where fueling products are only created when orders come in through Husky’s customer service department. Orders are routed to the appropriate production cell, where each product is assembled and tested in one-piece flow which proves to be more efficient than traditional assembly lines. Operators are trained at multiple cells to allow great flexibility and keep the staff’s skills fresh.

 

Customer benefits from the Husky production system go beyond reliable on-time delivery of the highest quality fueling products. By being able to reduce their own inventory, customers also find their own systems are more profitable. Husky products will be delivered on time, every time.
