Discover The Power of Metal in Manufacturing! In the realm of metal manufacturing, a remarkable symphony unfolds daily - a symphony of seamless collaboration across the supply chain. It's a complex dance, an art of perfect coordination that ensures a steady flow of materials, reduces lead times, and enhances overall efficiency. Let's dive into this choreography of industry. The supply chain is more than a series of transactions; it's a finely tuned network of suppliers and partners working in unison. From raw materials to finished products, each element seamlessly connects, like cogs in a well-oiled machine. Consider the automotive industry, where giants like Toyota set the bar for supply chain efficiency. Toyota Motor Corporation's Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing system minimizes inventory while maintaining a steady production pace. This intricate dance among suppliers and assemblers reduces waste and keeps costs in check. Studies reveal that companies with highly collaborative supply chains enjoy 73% higher performance on essential financial metrics. This collaboration doesn't just streamline operations; it propels businesses to new heights. It's more than metal; it's the mastery of coordination that keeps industries thriving. Stay tuned for more insights into the power of collaboration in metal manufacturing this week! #metalfab #supplychainefficiency #collaboration #anythinginmetal #discoverthepowerofmetal

Transforming manufacturing since 1913! Henry Ford's moving assembly line revolutionised the industry!. Do you have any interesting automation facts? Comment below 👇 #ManufacturingHistory #Innovation #HenryFord #IndustrialRevolution

Meet the MiddleGrounders behind the magic - Zach Jackson, Vice President #Operations Team. His superpowers are: 🔁 Creating efficient #process flows (whether that's at one facility or across dozens) 💵 Understanding the value of a dollar 😉 His winning personality! His prior experience makes visualizing efficient processes second nature. During his time with Toyota, he was responsible for managing model changes for the Camry, which meant reworking tooling, quality checks, plant floor operations... and pretty much everything else. Fast forward to MiddleGround. When he inherited Shiloh Industries facilities, he led the team to review the layout and removed 28% of the conveyor systems. 28% is HUGE time savings. On top of that, he significantly cut downtime for battery tray production! A leak proofing solution requires 3 hours to cure, previously the process was to apply terosone, wait 3 hours, then quality test. Now, that solution is applied earlier on so that it cures by the time the part is ready for quality! And all along the way, he brings the perspective of someone who has owned their own business. He understands the value of a dollar always aims to be cash flow neutral. In his words: "KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE PULSE OF EXPENSES!" #privateequity
