Introduction:

CNH Industrial, a global leader in the production of agricultural equipment, aimed to improve operational efficiency at their manufacturing plants. By implementing MDD Locate’s real-time tracking system, CNH Industrial saved upwards of 8 hours per day across 12 service bays, allowing technicians to focus on their core tasks instead of searching for assets.

Challenge:

In the busy manufacturing plants of CNH Industrial, technicians often had to spend a significant amount of time locating equipment, tools, and vehicles. This time-consuming process reduced the overall productivity of the service bays, limiting the number of tasks that could be completed each day. CNH Industrial needed a solution that would enable technicians to quickly locate assets, allowing them to dedicate more time to their core responsibilities.

Solution:

CNH Industrial chose to implement MDD Locate, a state-of-the-art real-time location system designed to optimize workflow and asset management. MDD Locate provides accurate, real-time location data for all assets across the manufacturing plants, ensuring quick and easy access for technicians.

Implementation:

CNH Industrial worked closely with the MDD Locate team to deploy the real-time tracking system throughout their manufacturing plants. The system was seamlessly integrated into their existing infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruption to the production process.

Results:

With MDD Locate in place, CNH Industrial technicians were able to quickly and accurately locate the assets they needed, saving upwards of 8 hours per day across 12 service bays. This significant time-saving enabled technicians to focus on their core tasks, such as turning wrenches and working on the production of agricultural equipment, instead of spending valuable time searching for assets.

The increase in productivity led to a higher output from the manufacturing plants, allowing CNH Industrial to produce more agricultural equipment and meet the growing demand from their customers. In addition, the improved efficiency in the service bays contributed to a reduction in production lead times and an overall improvement in the manufacturing process.

Conclusion:

By implementing MDD Locate’s real-time tracking system, CNH Industrial successfully addressed the challenges associated with locating assets in their busy manufacturing plants. The increased efficiency allowed technicians to dedicate more time to their core tasks, resulting in significant time savings and an overall boost in productivity. This case study demonstrates the powerful impact that MDD Locate can have on manufacturing efficiency and productivity, ultimately contributing to the success of the organization.
