Case Study: Heavy Manufacturing - Terex - Yard Management System (YMS)

Terex is a global manufacturer of lifting and material processing products. The Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) business unit sells many of its products under the well-known Genie brand name. Genie customers are mostly equipment rental companies that purchase high-volumes of units on an annual basis. Terex AWP operates its largest Genie finished product transfer center in North Bend, Washington. This case study is a collaboration between Clint Reiser from Logisticsviewpoints.com and Dirk Becker and Marsha Hudson of Terex AWP about the yard management process improvement initiative they spearheaded at the company’s North Bend facility.
