Cost Reduction Ideas

When a line is down due to a part being needed, you incur the double whammy of both wasted labor cost and lost production output.
Have you evaluated your spare parts inventory lately? In doing so, you should consider two categories of parts.

  • Wear items that have to be replaced frequently
  • Parts that are key to equipment operation
  • Parts that are not able to be obtained on a timely basis.

With the right parts in your inventory, you are more likely to return to operation more quickly. Also, by the timely replacements of normal wear items, you will maintain your packaging line at a more efficient level.

COST REDUCTION IDEAS

MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE
Many of us have packaging equipment that we use on a daily basis. Over the years, many of these machines have deteriorated and are now functioning at a less than optimum performance level. This often results in the following:

  • Increased downtime
  • Lost labor productivity
  • Missed shipments
  • Unsafe operation

Of course, you always have the option of purchasing new equipment. Many times, however, there is a less expensive, easier and less disruptive option. Consider having your equipment rebuilt. Done properly, this will give you the efficiencies of new equipment without requiring time, money and training that would be involved in such a purchase.
