This document outlines efficiency improvements made through the ME methodology at a Walmart plant. Key metrics like efficiency, production, and people ratio were measured against targets. Process flows, layouts, and balancing were analyzed. Methods were improved for several processes, increasing capacities and reducing cycle times. As a result, production increased by 200 pieces and efficiency improved by 17%. Line balancing efficiency also increased by 12%.
