Keeping a Competitive Edge in the Manufacturing Industry

Reducing non-value manufacturing and total processing times is essential when keeping a competitive edge in today’s market.

TechniqueFinal-17

Companies can identify the areas where it takes too long or costs too much by analyzing each stage of the order’s total cycle time and how they contribute to the overall cost per part and turnaround times.

Reducing Turnaround Times

Most companies overlook the soft-processing times, a common mistake when measuring set-up times. Soft processing includes order entry, production planning, engineering, and programming. Managing hard and soft processing times leads to faster order fulfillment and shorter turnaround times.

Removing paper trails by digitalizing and automating various order-related processes by switching to a digital order management system is one of the ways to cut down turnaround times.

Modernizing Older Systems

Replacing old management systems is crucial to reducing the order turnaround time. Changing paper-based systems for digital automated systems can effectively improve order turnaround times.

Instead of relying on paperwork for order forms, clients can submit orders electronically through websites or electronic data interchange (EDI). Eliminating the need for physical paperwork while ensuring the data order is entered directly into the system.

Digital Documentation

Such digital order documents would be safely stored and managed electronically, eliminating the need for any physical interference and thus cutting production times.

Switching to electronic documentation enables comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities to generate digital reports on order status, inventory levels, machine performance, and other metrics.

Efficient Material Handling

While new machines offer enhanced productivity, their efficiency relies on timely material handling. Without a well-organized metal storage rack system, machinery can sit idle, making investing in faster machines less beneficial.

Efficient material handling ensures that materials are readily available to be processed when transmitting orders to machines. As one metal sheet is processed, the system prepares a new sheet for processing, and the finished product is unloaded via a cart while the new sheet begins processing.

Streamlining the front-end processing, reducing non-productive times, and optimizing order cycle times reduce overall turnaround time.

Storage systems and sheet metal handling equipment like Big Steel Rack’s Drop Racks and Pallet Racks provide the proper material access and storage in a compact yet mobile footprint, reducing non-productive manufacturing times and keeping a well-organized and streamlined material handling system.
