As part of their 2024 competitive strategy, Signify is restructuring part of their North American manufacturing operations. This will involve a gradual production shift from the company’s San Marcos manufacturing operations to its other global sites within the Americas. In their involvement, TXST students will resolve how to efficiently transfer the production of a product portfolio across state lines while simultaneously mitigating disruption to a business ecosystem. Acknowledging potential operational differences across global sites, IE Senior Design students are to identify, analyze, and correct such differences by developing a systematic operations merging model. Students will focus on developing comprehensive work instruction packages for key high-volume products.
