Effective and efficient material handling (MH) system is crucial in any Just in Time (JIT) production system. A Gravity
Flow Rack (GFR) system is one of the very well adopted MH system and very practical in order to optimize the
effectiveness of the JIT production system. This paper presents a review on the actual implementation of a GFR system at
an automotive component’s assembly line in an accord to improve its existing MH system. The main purpose of this
implementation is to reduce the material transfer activities while reducing the occupied space; hence reducing the overall
production cycle time (CT). The implementation outcomes show significance improvement on the productivity and not to
mention the material handling’s time. It is proven that the GFR system is still relevant and can be regarded as one of the
most effective tool in JIT production.
