The plant manager of a medium-size production facility wanted to keep his operators working. He saw his employees waiting in the tool crib line for 10-15 minutes, at least 2 to 3 times a day. And stock outs meant too much CNC machine down time.

• The plant has recovered about 30 minutes per employee per day in productive time.
• Tool usage has decreased from $400,000 the previous year to an annual projection of $280,000 - $300,000 - while business is increasing at about 10% per year.
• No more CNC machine down time - stock outs are a thing of the past.
• Tool crib attendant now performs higher-value tasks, since he no longer has to keep issuing the same items all day.
• Purchasing is more efficient, due to automatic reporting. And reordering has been streamlined.
