When it comes to keeping production moving, engineers shouldn’t be spending valuable time searching for products, monitoring stock levels or placing repeat orders.
COBA Automotive wanted a simpler, more efficient way to manage the maintenance aerosols used every day across its site. Working in partnership with Leicester Bearings, the business introduced a tailored Managed Inventory solution designed to ensure essential products are always available-without adding to the workload of its maintenance team.
Understanding the Requirement
Rather than simply supplying a stocked cupboard, Leicester Bearings took the time to understand how COBA Automotive’s maintenance products were being used.
A joint site visit with a technical representative from CRC Industries, manufacturers of both Action Can and Ambersil, reviewed existing maintenance applications and identified opportunities to simplify the product range.
By understanding the purpose of each product, the team was able to streamline the range into a carefully selected core group, removing unnecessary duplication and ensuring the most suitable product was used for every application.
Leicester Bearings supplied and installed a dedicated Action Can storage cupboard as part of its Managed Inventory service.
The cupboard is regularly replenished by Leicester Bearings, ensuring essential maintenance products are always available when needed. This eliminates the need for COBA Automotive to continually monitor stock levels or reorder frequently used consumables.
Most importantly, it gives engineers immediate access to the products they need, allowing them to spend less time managing stock and more time keeping production running.
That’s what Managed Inventory is all about, giving engineers their time back.
