Yamato factory move to improve efficiency

Industrial weighing machine manufacturer Yamato Scale Dataweigh UK has moved to a bigger new factory that will help it improve lead times and enhance workflow and efficiencies.

The new factory in Leeds, UK, has increased space to improve the efficiency of manufacturing flow for Yamato’s range of weighing machines, multihead weighers, check weighers and metal detectors.

Commercial operations manager Andrea Spencer explains, “The additional space means that we can deliver improved manufacturing capabilities and better lead times on orders through enhanced workflow and efficiencies.”

Increased work flow, more efficient processes and better capacity means swifter delivery of new machines and faster handling of repairs, the company notes.

Andrea Spencer adds, “Extra space means that we have more manufacturing capacity than before. This has led to us creating improved work processes which have made the team more efficient across the board.”

The additional space will also allow Yamato to stock more spares and fulfil orders for genuine parts more efficiently.
