Efficient logistics can increase your manufacturing speed

Interruptions, caused by misplaced drills or out-of-stock parts, may seem minor, but their total effect can be significantly disruptive. Fine-tuning your operations will reduce machine downtime and increase your manufacturing speed.

Research shows that:

• Around 6 percent of all scheduled jobs suffer delays due to a lack of the right tool.
• Sometimes the right tools are there but cannot be identified or are inaccessible.
• Operators spend about 20 percent of their time searching for tools.
• Unforeseen disturbances and delays can add 20 to 30 percent to the overall time expended on a job.
• Production time is lost when your staff has to place orders for tools and materials, improvise solutions and alert colleagues to disruptions in the process.
• Order processing and tracking are time consuming
• Invoice reconciliation is labor intensive
