A leading power tool manufacturer held a Kaizen event to improve efficiency and reduce costs. They tasked Martin with reviewing their top 28 highest spend items. Our industrial sales and metalworking teams were brought in to evaluate their operations. Over two days, we conducted a detailed process analysis, ensuring our approach aligned with their specific needs and goals.

Using the data gathered during the evaluation, Martin developed a comprehensive proposal identifying $519,000 in potential cost savings. Our plan focused on optimizing their operations, streamlining processes, and enhancing inventory management.

• The manufacturer tested Martin’s recommended solutions and requested the implementation of key components, including the installation of vending machines for inventory control.
• As a result of these changes, the manufacturer has realized $340,000 in savings to date.
• Additional opportunities remain to capture the full $519,000 in savings identified in the proposal.

• Martin identified $519,000 in potential savings by analyzing the manufacturer’s top 28 high-spend items and focusing on operational optimization and inventory management.
• Implementation of key solutions, including vending machines for inventory control, delivered $340,000 in realized savings.
