Case Study: Red Star Yeast improves inventory control and work order efficiency with MAPCON CMMS

Red Star Yeast processes 120,000 work orders with MAPCON Technologies, Inc.

Red Star Yeast, a world leader in yeast technology, faced significant challenges managing maintenance and inventory at its Cedar Rapids plant using Excel spreadsheets. The system caused data duplication, made tracking parts difficult, and required supervisors to waste time manually assigning and following up on work orders. To overcome these inefficiencies, they turned to MAPCON Technologies, Inc. for its CMMS solution.

MAPCON implemented its CMMS software, which streamlined inventory tracking with automated low-stock alerts and simplified the work order process. The solution saved Red Star Yeast money by eliminating duplicate parts purchases and reduced machine downtime. The efficiency gains were substantial, with over 120,000 work orders processed, saving significant time for employees and supervisors. The results were so positive that Red Star Yeast expanded its use of MAPCON to a total of five sites.
