Manufacturing Supermarket

What is a Manufacturing Supermarket?

A manufacturing supermarket, or industrial supermarket, mimics the functionality of a retail supermarket. Factory workers pull components from shelves as needed for manufacturing, similar to how shoppers pull products from grocery store shelves. The idea works by creating miniature stock locations close to your assembly lines, allowing the lines to be replenished quickly and easily by tugger or manual carts, eliminating the need for fork truck traffic in personnel areas.
