Unplanned production downtime costs manufacturers $50 billion per year. Equipment failure accounts for 42% of that figure. How can manufacturing maintenance departments boost reliability and ensure maximum machinery uptime?
One way is to improve communication, collaboration, and cooperation between the maintenance team and the spare parts warehouse. Mobile warehouse management solutions improve data accuracy on spare parts, helping maintenance quickly know what’s available for repairs while the warehouse can replenish needed parts currently low or out of stock.
This whitepaper explains how a mobile warehouse management application:- Provides real-time visibility into stock levels
- Identifies inventory errors and minimizes costly discrepancies
- Reduces time wasted on trips to the warehouse to check on availability and readiness
- Gives pickers and shipping clerks lead time to assemble and kit the necessary parts
