Problems identified:
- As with most first tier Automotive manufacturers, there is a small window of opportunity to ensure the work can be completed on time without any disruption to the mainstream companies.
- Six complete cells were required to be moved internally in a 14 day window.
- Overhead cranes in both bays meant that all services had to be rerouted on cable management systems.
FPA Ltd have now completed 2 full internal factory relocations over summer shutdowns, with smaller internal relocations over Christmas periods, weekends and in some cases through the night.
The costs/budgets that were agreed along with the timescales were always met and every requirement that needed immediate attention including offsite storage was always within a cost index that never exploited the customer. FPA do not have the belief or working attitude to using the phase ‘feet under the table’ every request requiring a quote and subsequent work carried out is treated as a new client, willing to please, be cost effective, supportive and responsive.
