- DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY.
- The following statistics were produced by accessing the production environments of those customers who participated in this case study.
- Our products have a transaction LOG, a logbook from which it is possible to take measurements prior to the start and use of our products, and thus trace the evolution achieved over time.
- For confidentiality reasons, we do not name customers, the repair centers or plants where each piece of data collected was produced.
- STATE CALCULATION BEFORE USING OF OUR PRODUCT.
- The collection of measurements related to the reduction of immobilized inventories prior to the implementation of our product was based on 2 sources:
- Manually-done spreadsheets.
- Valued inventory of spare parts in the warehouse (coming from the ERP or related system).
- USAGE TIME IN CUSTOMER DATABASE.
- Months of USAGE: 380
- Processed
- WO: 1,244,580
- Scheduled tasks: 19,913,265
- Quality controls (checklist): 842
- Plants/Workshops: 21
- Users: 750
- Planners: 18
- Integrated ERP: 4
- OBJECTIVE IMPROVEMENT
- Reduction of immobilized inventories by 29%.
- It decreases the need for physical storage space.
- It reduces the valued stock of inventory items in the warehouse.
- It reduces costs in merchandise insurance.
- It optimizes storage space, streamlining tasks such as classification, search, and availability of parts in the warehouse.
- It reduces repair times significantly .
- Increases overall shop productivity.
- It optimizes the time and dedication of technicians and shifts.
- FUNCTIONS OF OUR PRODUCTS THAT DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH IMPROVEMENTS
- The “online order module” prevents errors in spare parts ordering, eliminating the purchase of parts that were mistakenly requested.
- The visual tools “task board” “WO board” are made available to technicians to allow them to have at hand the standards defined by the manufacturer for each repair, and to download video tutorials and images to maximize their efficiency. As a consequence, technical doubts as well time lost in the search for appropriate support are eliminated, when requesting the purchase of a spare part.
- Direct communication connectors with the manufacturer’s software allow the operator to be 100% confident about the spare part they request for on-the-go repairs.
