Assembly Industrial Fabrication designs and builds rugged, custom trucks and metalwork, crafted for industrial strength and lasting performance.
Stockouts were a weekly occurrence, halting progress on a truck for days or even up to two weeks while the team waited for a single component.
When a part was missing, multiple workers would halt production to search the shop, wasting over 20 minutes of labor each time.
Stalled projects forced technicians to jump between different trucks, leading to "too many hands on one thing."
"I just take 10 minutes at the end of the day to go around the shop, collect the cards, and now I know exactly what needs to be ordered. It used to take two or three hours a week."
