This research identified how simple methods can be used to improve
work and work process in vehicle inspection. The paper
identified the current methods used using flow process charts
and how long each component takes. By making simple
changes to the process, it can reduce the time taken for each
component to improve the flow and speed up the process.
Importantly, the costs and benefits of an additional inspector
have also been calculated which predict by making those
changes that output can be increased dramatically. The
throughput in vehicle inspection is expected to be increased
by 174.8%, with no or little increase in fixed costs, if the simple
proposed changes are applied together
