L-3 Communications Display Systems
has excelled in product design and
manufacturing for over 30 years.
L-3 Display Systems’
manufacturing facilities comprise
of over 53,000 square feet and
meet the requirements of
MIL-STD-454, MIL-STD-1686,
MIL-STD-2000A, MIL-STD-1686,
and J-STD-001. L-3 DS is also
AS9100 Rev. B certified.
L-3 DS has implemented “lean
practices” within its entire
production value stream.
The system operates as a pull
system within a visual factory
making maximum use of colorcoded lights, totes, status boards
and kanbans to monitor progress
and implement corrective actions.
All products are assembled within
cells which produce either single
products or similar products depending
on the throughput rate and the products’
takt time.
The manufacturing area contains eight
production cells, five common process cells,
one Overhaul/Repair (O/R) cell, one Pilot
Production cell, and an environmental test cell.
