Challenges
Before implementing Ready-Made Plastic Trays, Treske faced significant issues including Foreign Object Debris (FOD), loss of small parts during production, and damage to parts during transit.
These challenges necessitated the exploration of cost-effective methods to transport parts within the facility, coordinate with outside vendors, and ensure safe shipping of parts to customers while maintaining a FOD-free environment.
Actions
To address these challenges, Treske implemented Ready-Made trays with lids, designed to protect parts from environmental factors, FOD, and damage.
The decision to choose Ready-Made Plastic Trays came after thorough research on the internet. Treske required solutions that were safe, reusable, lightweight, easy to stack and store, and cost-effective for returning to customers. Committed to quality, Treske’s policies emphasize meeting customer requirements, with a strong focus on preventing FOD. The company strives to manufacture products under controlled and clean conditions.
Results
Following the integration of Ready-Made Trays, Treske observed improvements such as maintaining consistent part counts, minimized part loss, and a reduction in FOD and overall damage to parts, resulting in cost savings.
Ready-Made trays have played a crucial role in enhancing operational efficiency, facilitating safe movement of parts throughout the production floor, and ensuring secure transportation to and from outsourcing vendors. Additionally, these trays have supported Treske's Environmental Policy by aiding in recycling, reducing waste, and minimizing pollution across the company's supply chain.
