Case Study: Crown, Cork & Seal achieves $1.02M reduction in repair parts inventory with eMaint

Crown Reduced Their Repair Parts Inventory by $1.02 Million

Crown Holdings, Inc., a $6.8 billion global supplier of rigid packaging with operations in nearly 200 plants worldwide, was burdened by the high total cost of ownership and limited effectiveness of its legacy MP2 maintenance system. The company needed a more economical, web-accessible solution that would enable predictive maintenance tied to shop-floor data and reduce excessive repair-parts inventory for its high-volume production facilities.

Crown piloted and then rolled out eMaint’s web-hosted CMMS starting in 2001, expanding to over 45 locations across multiple countries. The hosted solution eliminated capital and internal IS costs, cut per-user EAM costs by 80%, reduced repair-parts inventory by $1.02 million, improved parts inventory turnover by 34%, and lowered service operations expenses while providing enterprise-wide visibility and support for continuous improvement and Six Sigma goals.
