Your storeroom could be hiding avoidable costs
In many factories, the parts crib is an afterthought. But we know it’s a place where savings, greater productivity and improved performance can be found—enough to impact your entire manufacturing operation. Our services for managing a storeroom help drive efficiency, minimize downtime due to lack of parts, improve technician utilization and increase business insights through monthly reporting and AI-powered technology.
Comprised of several material management disciplines, our storeroom management system is a powerful way to drive MRO to a new level of value. Our on-site program brings parts standardization, greater efficiencies and cost savings to your overall manufacturing operation. With fully trained ATS personnel staffed in your storeroom, you will have the process expertise and equipment know-how to right-size your inventory, improve parts tracking and distribution, reduce inventory spend and extend the life of your machines.
Where avoidable storeroom costs come from
Inefficient MRO crib management often drives avoidable cost across the storeroom, including:
Addressing these issues reduces operating costs and improves control. With an optimized storeroom, manufacturers can free up working capital, improve cash flow, lower total cost of ownership and strengthen procurement leverage.
5S methodology
Putting the 5S’s into practice maximizes use of available space and reduces overall inventory cost by stocking only the parts that have the greatest impact on operations. When properly stocked, organized and maintained, parts cribs are an invaluable aid to continuous improvement initiatives. They can save a manufacturer thousands, if not millions, of dollars over time.
