Smart solutions help auto parts firm increase storage space by 300%

Since 1984, Jay Storage Solutions has pioneered the design of intelligent storage solutions. The comprehensive range of warehousing, in-plant material handling equipment and A-Z storage solutions caters to a wide variety of needs across industry segments and applications.
Recently, the company’s smart storage solution helped an automobile spare parts manufacturer in the new brown-field expansion project to enhance thier productivity. The auto spare part manufacturer has 7-8 plants situated in different areas of Maharashtra & Gujarat. While this was the mother plant, all the finished goods from different manufacturing sites was largely used here as work in process (WIP) material. The systems provided by Jay Storage Solutions (JSS) were well appreciated by auto part maker’s management.
 
The automobile spare-parts manufacturer had various challenges in its existing set-up. However, with JSS’ innovative solutions the manufacturer could increase its floor space by 30-35 per cent, freeing up additional space, adding new building while simultaneously increasing storage space by more than 300 per cent. 
 
After a breif study of the manufacturer’s existing set-up, Jay Storage Solutions sensed that the manufacturer need not go for a new set-up, but instead they can achieve their goals in this existing set-up by rearranging the floor plan, thereby material flow efficiency can be increased, and ultimately resulting in manpower reduction, increased productivity, easy access to all material, inventory visibility & better flow of goods. 
Before providing the solution, an in-depth study and analysis was made, in the manufacturing process, material handling flow, existing storage racking systems, inventory systems used, packing, repacking & despatch, so as to understand their needs & future goals. Together with the client, JSS identified the pain areas, movement of goods, and came up with a combination of solution.
 
The solution was indigenoused for each area, eg small components storage had a very low inventory visibility, so JSS came out with a ‘multi-tier Long span shelve racking’ and installated it right at the place where it was required for consumption. For the in-process & WIP goods, which flowed from other plants was labelled and stored in ‘mobile pallet racking’ system, which not only increased their storage capacity to 250-300 per cent, but at the same time reduced manpower & increased storage & retreival time. Other solutions for die-tools storage involved customised design of pallets proved a boon. Batch produced finished goods was stored in ‘drive-in pallet racking’ which resulted in reducing the despatch time by 50 per cent. The system helped this automobile spare parts manufacturer in easy identification of goods, easily segregate different goods, bifurcate the goods & thus increased productivity.
 
Jay Storage Solutions has always believed to help its customers achieve their storage goals in their business & thus give them a competetive edge over competition. In the process, JSS provides different solutions, products and services for customers who get efficient storage for goods, ultimately leading to effective identification, inventory, segregation, bifurcation & flow of their goods. “Goods stored in our given storage systems helped this automobile spare parts manufacturer to utilise to the full capacity of their plant, it also helped to save additional space required for storage of goods. Due to our racking systems, overall operational efficieny of the customer’s goods got increased & smooth. This helped the client, both directly & indirectly to save money, time & resources,” said JSS in a statement.  
 
In today’s industrial & supply chain industry, to get a competitive edge over other, it is very necessary for companies to provide an effective, efficient & smart storage system for internal process & for delivery of their products to its customers. “We are determined to be the storage solutions industry benchmark through value creation, excellence for its people & overall conduct. Yes, we enhance & optimise warehouse/storage spaces through innovative, intelligent and cost-effective solutions,” said Jay Storage Solutions.
