Capstone Performance Teams Improve Process at a Industrial Manufacturing Facility

Partner Profile

Global leader in industrial machinery and vehicle manufacturing overseeing 380,000 sq. ft of warehouse space and an adjoining engine generator production support facility.

The Challenge

• Optimize manufacturing support processes for increased production
• Resolve inventory control challenge
• Incomplete and delayed orders and low throughput restricting downstream production
• Lack of traceability creating upstream issues with warehouse capacity

Our Approach

• The project started with a wall-to-wall inventory audit
• Capstone inventory management solution resulted in improved capacity and increased throughput
• Capstone was then tasked to expand the solution and help re-engineer manufacturing support operations

The Challenge

• Inventory audit and tracking for improved traceability
• Inbound: Receiving, Unloading, Put-Away
• Outbound: Selection, Picking, Loading
• Solution expanded into manufacturing support: Kitting, Light Assembly, Auditing
