Case Study: Transportation Equipment Manufacturer achieves 23% higher throughput and 40% less dwell time with Maine Pointe

Transportation Equipment Manufacturer boosts throughput 23% with Maine Pointe

A transportation equipment manufacturer was facing significant production chaos across its five acquired plants, including a lack of standardization, quality issues, and unreliable supplier delivery. This led to inventory control difficulties, workforce stress, and a loss of capacity. The company engaged Maine Pointe to address these engineering, bill of material, and scheduling challenges.

Maine Pointe implemented a solution that integrated systems across functions and standardized processes for engineering, materials, and scheduling. This included delivering materials directly to the production line, rationalizing order allocation, and creating dashboards to track production. The results delivered by Maine Pointe were a 23% increase in throughput, a 40% decrease in dwell time and schedule changes, a 20% capacity gain, and the release of $5 million in cash.
