Facility Layout at Wheeled Coach

When President Bob Collins began his career at Wheeled Coach, the

world’s largest manufacturer of ambulances, there were only a handful of

employees. Now the firm’s Florida plant has a workforce of 350. The

physical plant has also expanded, with offices, R&D, final assembly,

and wiring, cabinetry, and upholstery work cells in one large building.

Growth has forced the painting work cell into a separate building,

aluminum fabrication and body installation into another, inspection and

shipping into a fourth, and warehousing into yet another.

Like many growing companies, Wheeled Coach was not able to design its

facility from scratch. And while management realizes that

material-handling costs are a little higher than an ideal layout would

provide, Collins is pleased with the way the facility has evolved and

employees have adapted. The aluminum cutting work cell lies adjacent to

body fabrication, which, in turn, is located next to the body-

installation work cell. And while the vehicle must be driven across a

street to one building for painting and then to another for final

assembly, at least the ambulance is on wheels. Collins is also

satisfied with the flexibility shown in design of the work cells
