DRIVING CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT

Through cellular manufacturing and shopfloor redesign, Kiswok transformed its machining operations within the same 3,500 sq mt facility. An earlier setup of 41 CNC machines operated by 196 personnel, producing 56,000 components per month, was restructured into an optimized cellular layout. This enabled the company to scale up to 52 CNC machines, reduce manpower to 166, and increase output to 70,000 components per month.

INTELLIGENT ROTOR MAGNET INSERTION AUTOMATION
