<p>Volvo Hauler & Loader Division in Arvika produces wheel loaders which they deliver</p><p>throughout the world. The factory which is situated in Arvika is the largest wheel loader plant in the whole world, with its 1 100 employees. The different models stretch from L60E all the</p><p>way up to the brand new L350F, with a loader capacity from six tons up to a staggering 35.</p><p>The assembly of the different models are divided into three different assembly lines, Small</p><p>(L60-L90), Medium (L110-L120) and Large (L150-L220). The assembly of Heavy (L350)has just been started with an upcoming pre series.</p><p>This examination paper gives recommendations of improvements and necessary modifications to rationalize the pre-assembly of boom units. Three different scenarios are presented in the paper. One scenario, where the work-station resembles the current workstation,</p><p>but with a improved layout and safer working environment.</p><p>The second scenario states a working-station where fully pre-mounted boom units should be produced, although this station requires some alterations in the construction which are mentioned in the paper.</p><p>The last scenario is a vision of the future, where all three lines are gathered into one big line, accordingly with the visions of the company outline.</p>
