No Space for Growth

The Repair Clinic’s double digit growth was impressive, however its packing and manifesting process required improvements to keep up. To maintain their high level of service and efficiency it was clear that the Repair Clinic had to address these three areas in their packing and manifest area.

  • High Labor Costs
  • Inadequate Throughput
  • Spatial Limitations

ISD Is Selected to Optimize Packing and Manifesting Process

The Repair Clinic selected ISD based on its comprehensive analysis encompassing Repair Clinic’s customer order profiles, inventory dynamics, spatial utilization, and detailed assessments of employee roles, productivity, and associated expenses. The resulting plan would significantly reduce labor, reclaim valuable space and increase overall system capacity. Other system integrator solutions aimed to expand through increased workstations and reduced storage for more pack stations or mezzanine additions, this would potentially double their packing workforce to 52. The Repair Clinic adopted for ISD’s approach.

ISD' Lowers Costs While Improving Throughput

Our initial step involved conducting a comprehensive analysis encompassing Repair Clinic’s customer order profiles, inventory flow and spatial data, along with evaluating current technology, employee roles, performances, and associated expenses.  With solid data on worker productivity, throughput, inventory capacity and accessibility, ISD presented a plan featuring visual representations and system renderings. Automating redundant, straightforward tasks while managing exception orders separately from the core order group, resulted in a significant reduction in labor. The new system surpassed the business’s production capacity, handling a volume higher than the company could produce, while simultaneously improving accuracy levels.
