Goals Of Supply Chain Mgmt.

• Uninterrupted flow of materials• Optimize inventory levels• Improve supply chain

collaboration• Standardize items company-wide• Reduce total cost of procurement• Improve internal and external service levels

How a Dispensing System Helps

How a Dispensing System Helps

• Extends supply chain to point-of-use, cost control no longer ends at back door

• Enforces discipline on the shop floor - 100% accountability

• 24/7 distributed, “pull” system • Drives the process to the correct level – reduce

transaction fees• Provides automatic replenishment • Provides reports that assist in decision making

Why Popularity is Why Popularity is GrowingGrowing

All of this is easily accomplished with

POU Dispensing

Market Drivers Favoring Point-Of-Use Adoption

Market Driver Impact Common Characteristics

Lean Manufacturing Eliminate Wasted Time, Motion, Material, Production, etc

Move to Point-Of Use Inventories, Need For Control

Six Sigma Data-Driven Decision Making

Drive For Continuous Improvement, Sustained Improvements

Standards Compliance ISO, OSHA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Safety, Internal Process Standards

Move to process integrity, consistency and control

Cost-Reduction, Cost Control

Pressure To Reduce Spend, Headcount

Outsourcing, Elevated Cost-Management, Integrated Supply

ROA, Asset Management Improved Asset Utilization

Reduced Inventories, Move To VMI, Pressure To Increase Inventory Turn Rates

Reduction Of Stock Outs Eliminate Downtime, Lost Production

Focus On Productivity, Optimization Of Production Resources

ResultsResults• ExxonMobil: reduced spend on tube fittings &

valves by 50%• Alcoa: 37% savings on MRO & PPE spend after

lease & service fees• Trane: 38%, $380,000/yr. reduction in glove

purchases• Haas Automation: 80% of all indirect material

transactions go through dispensing machines, eliminating stock outs
