At the GF6 six-speed, front-wheel transmission line at General Motors Powertrain in Toledo, OH, a new front-wheel-drive transmission line for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles such as the Chevy Malibu and Chevy Cruze is currently ramping up to its initial goal of 2,200 units per day. A closer look reveals the method used to program this line, implement changeover, stage the workpiece flow, perform all machining and secondary operations, and assemble the finished transmissions.
