  • Hidden Profits In Efficient Small Parts Assembly

    All commercial and industrial processes involve some kind of assembly.  An efficient process in that area can be the difference in making a profit and being competitive in the marketplace.  The orderly flow of raw materials from the supplier to the shipping box for finished goods is a critical process that all manufactures want honed as precisely as possible. Seconds and minutes do make hours over time, and that equals cost.

    Fixtures, tooling and work space layout, are all finely tuned to get the most of every minute of labor investment. The rotation of stock, supplies and inventory on hand all play a part in this process. Additionally, assembly stations need to be as compact as possible with needed parts taking up a small footprint but in easy reach of the assembler.  You can't afford to run out of parts thus the process grinds to a halt, on the other hand, overstocking creates waste if something changes or updates, not to speak of inventory taxes. So keeping parts in balance offers the management a challenge that Sharkbins can improve.

    Weather your assembling widgets down a assembly line, filling prescriptions from stock or selling small items in retail, Sharkbins can improve that process.  Small parts are indeed cumbersome to track, rotate, and store.  Sharkbins are clear dispensing containers that show in full view all the inventory contained, and they stack to keep the footprint small.  Some may even want inventory bench mark points on the units, to trigger "reorder time",  and the operator would always know the condition of the inventory.

    Check your assembly operations, more likely than not, you will see a place for improvement and recover those hidden cost that are sucking the life out of the bottom line. Sharkbins are industrial quality and built to last for years in an industrial application, and their built in the USA.
