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.

GO TO A PREVENT DEFENSE!!
Equipment uptime is critical to operational efficiencies and profits. Do you have preventive maintenance programs for all of your packaging equipment? If not, implementing such a program will help you reach production targets as well as add profits to your bottom line. A good preventive maintenance program has many components:

  • Proper operator training and familiarization
  • An adequate spare parts inventory
  • A schedule of maintenance and inspection procedures to be performed daily, weekly and monthly
  • An effective tracking system to document that these are indeed performed
