Aerospace Company

Results:

• The plant has completely eliminated shutdowns in the 40 months since installation of the AutoCrib system.
• Tool usage and expenses for items in the AutoCrib Remote Dispensing Stations (RDS) have dropped from $40,000 to $32,000 per month - a savings of $96,000 a year!
• The company is also saving over $81,000 each year by no longer issuing over 40 purchase orders each month (at a cost of $170 each) for items now supplied by the AutoCrib system. One blanket order with pre-negotiated pricing and terms from the distributor now covers everything.
• Receiving costs have been eliminated, since the distributor now stocks the Remote Dispensing Stations.
• Obsolete tool costs for items provided by the distributor (previously at about 10%) have been totally eliminated.
• Operators no longer walk 50 yards to the tool crib, since tools are dispensed at their cell.
• Supervisors during the 2nd and 3rd shifts no longer have to spend their time issuing tools.
• Accounting personnel no longer have to manually assign costs to the correct job and department number, since the billing from the distributor now provides this information.
