Simpson Performance Products, headquartered in New Braunfels, is a motorsports part supplier and a leading manufacturer of safety products for racing enthusiasts. This project revolves around applying lean methods and new strategies to improve the production process of Simpson's 5-point racing harnesses. The manufacturing team is developing an inventory management database that allows operators to efficiently locate parts within the warehouse, as well as detailed instructions to assemble a 5-point harness. The team will also design and manufacturing unique jigs that aids sewing operators with aligning various stitching plates. Finally, the manufacturing team will provide a proof of concept for a slide-in rack that will efficiently organize numerous shoulder harnesses in the warehouse.
