How long would it take for MCFI Commercial Services to install a dedicated “high speed” packaging line?
Fully automating a process requires design, tooling, and machine assembly time. With appropriate samples of the product and firm commitments in hand, designing a production process with its requirement for fixtures and tools may take a day or two. Building the fixtures and tools would likely take two weeks. Assembling the production line with the necessary transportation, build-outs, and other supports would likely take an additional week or two. Adding test runs, customer approvals, and final adjustments, four weeks from start to finish is a probable and reasonable start-up period.
