As a globally recognised leader in manufacturing of automotive vehicles as well as a wide range of Auto-Parts, Toyota set the standard in the way that storage systems needed to be developed and the product range that needed to follow.
The system is known as Just in Time (JIT) Inventory Management System or the Toyota methodology. The key focus is that the storage systems are sorted and coded with one part per storage tub as well as the core aim to minimise excessive stock holdings and make inventory as easy to manage as possible.
In a dynamic industry such as Auto Parts, this also allows companies to update their stock levels as technologies change and minimise any old stock needing to be moved out before bringing in the new products.
Fischer Plastics has worked with many key automotive companies and service centres to ensure that their stock holdings can be maximised and utilise the Toyota Production methodologies around storage. Much like with the Kanban systems, JIT storage offers a chance for businesses to improve overall efficiencies and improve your customers buying experience. Back-end storage systems are often forgotten about as a core component of a business. The operational component that plays a key role in overall success.
Fischer Plastics continues to work with the industry and updating our offering of storage bins to keep up with growing demands. We manufacture our full range of products on-site in Melbourne, Australia to also ensure quality and that the products will last when they are protected by Fischer Plastics.
Reach out to the Fischer Plastics sales team to discuss how we can help implement a JIT / Toyota style storage system at your workplace or for any further information on our range of plastic storage products.
