English term or phrase: From having to delve
An operator works on one engine at a time and has the parts within reach and in the order they are going to be used. An assembly worker says the new way of working is more smooth and efficient. “From having to delve into the pallets for materials ourselves, we now have all the items picked in sequence at the station. This saves time for the operator. We can now work together as a team along the whole line towards one goal.”

antes


Explanation:
Antes tínhamos de ir nós mesmos buscar os materiais às paletes, ao passo que agora os artigos já estão dispostos na estação de trabalho, por ordem. Com este sistema, o operador poupa tempo. Agora, podemos trabalhar como uma equipa ao longo de toda a linha de produção, rumo a um único objetivo.
