Throughput
"Before Arda, we held inventory levels at 25+ for most of our critical components. Now, we hold inventory levels at 5 and make 6x as many vehicles. We doubled revenue last year and will double again this year."- Luke Farny, Owner
Inventory solutions weren't made for the shop floor
Rossmonster's unique, multi-tiered pop-up trucks fueled rapid business growth, but getting buy-in from the shop floor to systemize proved tricky, leaving Rossmonster with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and chaos.
ERPs
Hard to use, expensive, and often fail to deliver the promised value
Point Solutions
Not sophisticated enough to manage high-mix manufacturing
Excel & Whiteboards
Error-prone, ineffective, frustrating, and not scalable
Without process, scaling is more grind than growth
Managing supplies using various competing, manual systems was crippling Rossmonster's ability to deliver value to customers and creating an unmanageable amount of work for the business's owners.
Process Inefficiency
Stockouts caused setups to be torn down, resupplied, and re-set-up only to identify a new, different stockout.
Volatility & Waste
Looking for parts, constant interruptions, and "stealing" parts from future builds in a pinch was business-as-usual.
Expensive Idling
High-value machines, vehicles, and staff sat idle waiting for low-cost items to be delivered.
Talent Misallocation
The owners and best workers spent most of their time ordering and resolving stockouts.
