Case Study: Die Casting and Machining Company achieves $7.5M annualized savings with Maine Pointe

Die Casting and Machining Company boosts throughput 25% with Maine Pointe

The die casting and machining company, a distressed firm emerging from bankruptcy, faced a significant drop in demand from a major customer, missed delivery targets, and nervous investors. To address these challenges, they engaged Maine Pointe to realign their plan-make-buy-move supply chain and rein in costs without alienating their customer base.

Maine Pointe implemented a solution that closed the communications gap with customers, revamped scheduling, and removed bottlenecks to optimize plant flow. This resulted in $7.5 million in annualized savings, a 40% uptime improvement, a 25% increase in throughput, and a 20% quality improvement. Maine Pointe also trained teams and ensured the changes were sustainable despite ongoing demand fluctuations.
