Project Name:

Micron Commercial Ovens Project

Project Company:

ITW Electronic Assembly Equipment

Project Description:

ITW was being pressured by their customer to improve lead times and reduce costs. Total Export suggested implementing a regular order schedule for prebuilt, knock-down crates. The strategy worked twofold: the improvement in resource planning resulted in better lead times and the larger order quantities resulted in greater economies of scale and therefore cost savings. Months into the project, Total was able to keep their commitments and ITW improved their relationship with their customer.

“I like working with the Total Export team because they listen to our needs and are quick to respond to our requests.” -Shane Saxhaug, Logistics Coordinator at ITW EAE
