Its absolutely a new idea and can bring revolution in manufacturing organization. This concept is basically applied to manufacturing firms which are engaged in assembly line example. Automobile industries, Electronic industries, etc. While making assembly we need inventory. Inventories are brought to the assembly line by martial handling device mainly manual trolleys. Large manufacturing organization like Bajaj Auto, Hero - Honda, Tata motors, etc. required lot of space for this trolleys. Our focus is to eliminate this non-productive activity of trolley movement on the shop floor. What we are suggesting is the overhanding hander maximum possible inventory for each final product. These hanger are suppose to be ergonomically designed. These hangers are attached to overhead belt that would carry inventory needed for finish product. This hanger movement is synchronized with assembly line main belt movement.

The worker at each station will pick-up the item from hanger and fix it up the Product In Process (PIP) Each operator ca perform this operation at his respective work station. The hanger will be loaded at a single point (store). Preferably this point should be at such end where vendor delivers the inventories. So what would be the result? Complete Elimination of trolley movement of the shop floor & we will get superb space management which can be used for storage off the finished product.
