Portfolio - Automotive Manufacturing, 2 of 8
A Chemical Engineering and Manufacturing Company
Directive
The customer had a toller, a different company producing their product and shipping it as if it was shipped from the customer, who could not meet the automotive quality, packaging, shipping, or EDI requirements.
They needed me to assist the toller to get through the Q1 approval process with Ford. If the customer did not do this, the customer would have lost some of the Ford business.
Remarks
Ford business was at risk.
The toller was in the "red" category. I got them to "green".
The Ford Engineer said the toller was the best Tier 2 facility he had seen and he said he will recommend that the other Tier 2 facilities follow this toller's lead.
We prevented fines more than once. One distinct time, a fine was inevitable had it not been for my involvement.
Results
Net savings for the first year was around $500,000.
The estimated efficiency improvement was around 40% and accuracy went from frequently inaccurate to nearly 100% accurate.
ROI was less than 1 month.
