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. ![spare parts tray](https://www.fischerplastics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog%20images/spare%20parts%20tray.jpg?width=600&name=spare%20parts%20tray.jpg) In a dynamic industry such as [Auto Parts](https://www.fischerplastics.com.au/auto-parts-storage), 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](https://www.fischerplastics.com.au/blog/kanban-systems) 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 Plastic Products New addition](https://www.fischerplastics.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Fischer%20Plastic%20Products%20New%20addition.png?width=600&name=Fischer%20Plastic%20Products%20New%20addition.png) Fischer Plastics continues to work with the industry and updating our offering of storage bins to keep up with growing demands.
