Case Study: Navistar streamlines parts inventory management with MaintainX

Navistar - Customer Case Study

Navistar, a major transportation company, faced significant challenges with a disorganized and inefficient parts inventory. This led to wasted spending on duplicate parts, difficulty locating necessary components, and costly unplanned downtime. To overcome this, they partnered with MaintainX to implement its Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to bring order to their inventory management processes.

The solution involved applying lean manufacturing principles using the MaintainX platform. This included sorting and setting parts in order, digitizing the entire inventory for mobile access, and standardizing processes. MaintainX automated inventory tracking by removing parts used on completed work orders and triggered automatic reorder notifications. The results were substantial savings on maintenance costs, a drastic reduction in downtime, and a completely accurate, real-time view of inventory across all plants, all managed through the MaintainX system.
