CUSTOMER PROFILE INDUSTRY: Commercial/Military Aerospace FACILITY FOOTPRINT: 92,903 sq meters PREVIOUS CHALLENGES: High cost of inventory, product availability, multiple vendors TOTAL FASTENAL ASSET INVESTMENT: €887.900 DEDICATED FASTENAL EMPLOYEES: 4 FT, 1 PT SERVICES USED: Vending, Custom Manufacturing, Bin Stock, E-Commerce, Safety Audits, Quality Inspections TRIUMPH GROUP With this supply partnership, an onsite Fastenal team streamlines the flow of consumable products for Triumph’s multi-site operations in Hot Springs, Arkansas. That includes managing 1,700 individual parts, making daily deliveries to all the departments, maintaining min/max inventory levels within multiple bin stock locations, and continually optimizing 50+ vending devices throughout 8 buildings, bringing accessibility and traceability to PPE, drills, abrasives, and other high-use items. “It took our consumption way down because of the applied accountability factor and gave us more controls and more audible tools to see what we’re using and where we can adjust,” said Darren Hill, director of supply chain. “When you take all those burdens away – a 40% straight drop in consumption, plus the personnel it took us to manage that product before – it added a tremendous value to our company.” KEY IMPACT: 40 PERCENT REDUCTION IN CONSUMPTION “ The services Fastenal provides allow us to reallocate our personnel so that we’re not focusing on the MRO side – the shop supplies and the things that are not our core competency. They allow us to optimize all those resources so that we’re focusing on the things that make us money: getting parts out to our customers on time. ” Billie McMillian Program Manager
