Another Endorsement for TwinBin®
Hurst Green Plastics Ltd supplied its TwinBin® system to Airbus at Broughton, in North Wales, for the A380 wing production. The cost of supply was £10,000 which resulted in savings of £60,000 after only 5 months.
Over £60,000 has so far been saved on the A380 production, as a result of a new system for storing and distributing fasteners which cuts down on waste and saves production hours.
The new method of supply Aircraft General Supplies (AGS – term used for rivets and bolts) on A380 stage 00 was introduced by a cross functional team set up to look at ways of improving the process on the four Low Voltage Electromagnetic Riveting machines (LVER).
Previously, production team members had to use a non-con�gured storage system or visit the logistics stores to get a bag of production bolts or rivets. Once they’d taken out the required number, bags of bolts were frequently left out on the side of the area, as there was nowhere to store them. This not only resulted in a considerable amount of waste, but also provided a potentially untidy and unsafe work area.
To improve the process, the project team worked together with members of the production teams to examine the usage of bolts and analyse Statistical Process Control Data from the LVER machines. They gathered information as to exactly which types of bolts were needed, where and when.
Lean tools such as 5C, “Plan Do Check Act” (PDCA) and problem solving were used in order to ensure that a methodical, structured approach was used and that improvements were sustainable.
Racking systems, which contain all the bolts, required for a particular operation, are now in place, right where they are needed, close by the working areas.
The new system has brought tremendous bene�ts to the business, saving thousands of pounds in wasted AGS and making jobs overall more e�cient. So far alone, around £45,000 worth of AGS and slaving has been returned to the business and a total of £14,500 in AGS scrap has been identi�ed, and removed from the work areas.
In addition, a considerable amount of production hours have been saved, as production team members no longer have to visit the stores for their AGS, and shortage calls to logistics have reduced by more than 75%.
Ray Harper is pictured in front of the new racking system, which is saving Airbus tens of thousands of pounds.
Ray Harper, Project Support Leader, said: “The bene�ts and cost savings since we have introduced the new TwinBin® system have been incredible. We’ve had lots of positive feedback from operators as they now know they’ve got the exact AGS, in the quantity they need, where and when they need it.”

Karina Maxwell, Head of Supplies, and Louise Allen, Supplies Assistant, are responsible for the logistics, procurement and control of patient ward consumables used at the North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust. These items range from toothbrushes and combs to needles and catheters. All Items that are required day-to-day by all members of staff from nurses to doctors to treat and aid patients.
Trying to maintain any sort of control was becoming a daily torment for Louise and Karina. Using open boxes for each product item, they found that products were often being misplaced by members of staff, the stores were cluttered and disorderly, people were taking items from the wrong boxes and stock-outs were commonplace.
This also caused nurses to be spending more time searching and calling for items than was necessary. To counteract the stock outs, overloading the bins with more stock than was necessary was commonplace. In consequence, this raised the value of stocks on the ward and money was being lost by the NHS.
Through a search on the internet, Karina and Louise discovered a unique and innovative stock control system called the TwinBin.
Hurst Green Plastics Ltd unique and patented TwinBin eradicates all the problems associated with stock control. By incorporating a reserve chamber for stock, there is reduced stock outs as the automatic Flag “pops” up to indicate when you should re-order.
NHS Case Study - September 2009All bins close shut again eradicating cross-contamination of products and also preventing any environmental contamination which can occur on a hospital ward such as an MRSA outbreak for example. The bins can even be moulded in an anti-microbial agent in the plastic, killing all bacteria for the life of the product.
After a tour around the modern British Aerospace factory at Samlesbury where Hurst Green Plastics have completely furnished with their groundbreaking TwinBin dispensers, Karina and Louise wanted to trial the system on the Urology ward at North Tees.
Almost 500 products were removed from the old, open bins and placed into the new TwinBin system for a period of 2 months, and the benefits were recorded. Special bespoke designs were made to dispense unusual items such as the many different shapes of catheters, gloves and pulp items.
Stock levels, stock outs, time taken to maintain stock, time wasted by nurses and doctors was all significantly reduced. The stores area was much cleaner, tidier and it was easy to see the stock level of all parts.
Following the successful trial, Karina Maxwell put forward a business case to purchase the TwinBin goods. After an initial outlay of £7,900, Karina calculated that the NHS would save at least £13,667 after just twelve months, giving a payback period of just 30 weeks!

Karina Maxwell said, “I am very impressed with the TwinBins for topping up purposes. We have found that we save time topping up because we only have to look for the Flag and not check every bin. The wards are always tidy becuase we do not put full boxes on ward if not needed. We have achieved a saving of £13,667 for the year for the one ward we trialled. We are hoping to roll out in the near future!”

A revolutionary system that allows you to set your exact usage requirment with the next build rate supply released at the pull of the side
1 The operator will access product only from the lower bin
2 When the lowerbin is empty the operator pulls the slide
3 Product drops to the lower bin and the upper bin can then be re-filled
4 Bin is refilled 5 Two batch status restored
TwinBin®The standard system is the TwinBin® which comprises any number of bins with twocompartments mounted vertically and divided by a slide. The pull-down doors enablethe bins to be loaded with product and the operator accesses only the lower bin untilall components have been used. He then pulls the slide to allow the product in theupper bin to fall into the lower bin. The empty bins can then be easily identified forreplenishment. Total control of product is possible with full traceability.
Automated options to the TwinBin® system are available on request.
Inventory Control – up to 82% of stock reduction has been recorded
Traceability – offers opportunity for 100% traceability even for small components
Less Waste – every part issued and accounted for
