Today's demanding market is severely pressurising the manufacturing industry. Changing a product or production line through machine moves or repositioning to optimise product flow causes major concerns over lost production time and so many organisations shy away from such projects.

However, facing this problem, Wood Group Heavy Industrial Turbines decided to change their product flow in one of their manufacturing sites. This forced them to undergo a major machinery move and relocation on their site. Machines to be resited included CNC mill, CNC lathes and shot blasters, with barriers and office partitioning also to be relocated.
