Value Proposition

What if you could increase your Technicians’ wrench time and

remove some of your inventory costs using a tool that you already

have in your EAM system?

Scenario:

Facility currently has 30 Technicians who retrieve their own parts

Assumptions: Classifications would save Techs 1/2 hour a day related

to finding parts. Cost Savings

Time (Man-hours) 30 Tech * 0.5 hour/Day * 260 Days/Yr 3,900 hrs.

Value of lost time searching for parts 3900 hrs * $50/hr (industry std) $195,000.00

Assumptions: Value of inventory = $1M 10% reduction in inventory 100,000.00$

Inventroy carrying costs are est. at 25% of total inventory 25% of $1M or $250,000 25,000.00$

Total reduction: 320,000.00$
