#53 Process Engineering, and Design and Estimating Automation of Fleetwood’s Product Platform
This project aims to improve Fleetwood’s business by digitising the physical components and assets of their product platform, and automating their design and estimating processes, procedures and workflows. Expected operational benefits for Fleetwood include more efficient material use and production time, competitive market bidding and ease of installation while also minimising cost.
