Case Study: Orange County Container Group achieves over $3M in annual savings by reducing downtime, waste and overtime with eMaint

Orange County Containers Group Switches to eMaint for Multi-Location Inventory Management and Bilingual Support

Orange County Container Group (OCCG) is a multi-site manufacturer of paperboard packaging with seven plants in the U.S. and Mexico. Using an outdated CMMS (Datastream), OCCG suffered poor mobile connectivity, limited multi-location inventory visibility, bilingual support gaps, and large inventory inaccuracies that increased downtime and costs.

In 2009 OCCG implemented eMaint, leveraging bilingual support, handheld data capture, and automated Min/Max replenishment to standardize maintenance across sites. The system improved inventory visibility and parts sharing, reduced manual paperwork and human error, cut downtime by 1% (≈ $560K/yr), lowered spoilage from 13% to 9% (>$2M/yr), and trimmed technicians’ overtime (≈ $200K/yr), contributing to more than $3M in first-year savings.
