CribMaster™ in Automotive
Automation plays an important role in the assembly line production of automobiles. Think about what can happen if the same level of process automation impacts your indirect material supply chain and work flow.
- Reduce down time searching for tools or supplies
- Optimize order quantities and reduce on-hand carrying costs
- Centrally locate tools and supplies near work cells without losing accountability
- Ensure accurate replenishment
- Review supplier performance and other analyzer reports
- Maintain accurate inventory records associated with up to 6 cost centers
The assembly line process, in most automotive manufacturers, is cutting edge. Lean manufacturing principles are used throughout the entire work-flow to reduce waste and inefficiencies. CribMaster enables automotive manufacturers to take that same level of process automation used in the assembly line and apply it to the distribution and management of indirect materials. Everything from MRO supplies to expensive hand tools can be distributed and monitored with the same level of lean principles that have made the assembly line what it is today! Eliminate waste and reduce costs by starting today!
To find out more about our extensive involvement in automotive manufacturing, please contact WinWare directly at 888.419.1399 and ask to speak to a corporate sales representative. We will be happy to answer any question you may have.
We'll be glad to discuss with you how vending, RFID and software has helped others gain control of tools, MRO and other indirect material.
