THE PROBLEM

CSC ServiceWorks faced challenges in their Atlanta refurbishment center, struggling with inefficiencies in refurbishing, packing, and shipping processes for field deployment. The facility lacked a streamlined flow, creating bottlenecks and limiting throughput. Additionally, ergonomic risks, underutilized inventory management, and inconsistent workstation designs were contributing to high labor costs and limited scalability.

KEY QUESTIONS

  • How can CSC ServiceWorks increase throughput and efficiency in their refurbishment center?

  • What solutions can improve workstation design to enhance flexibility and reduce ergonomic risks?

  • How can inventory management and shipping processes be optimized to meet capacity demands?

  • What phased implementation approach ensures minimal operational disruption during upgrades?

THE SOLUTION

Maveneer partnered with CSC ServiceWorks to design and implement a comprehensive solution tailored to meet the facility’s needs.

Process Optimization: Introduced standardized work processes and performance measurement systems to enforce quality expectations and minimize labor inefficiencies.

Universal Workstations: Designed flexible workstations with machine lifts and defined layouts to reduce ergonomic risks and enable scalability for future growth.

 Improved Inventory Management:

  • Consolidated parts into a centralized, controlled storage area to enhance visibility and tracking.
  •  
  • Utilized point-of-use racks to reduce travel time for technicians.

Refurbishment Layout Redesign: Proposed a new layout to consolidate panel racking and refurbishment zones, improving workflow and enabling better forklift access.

Shipping and Storage Enhancements: Integrated single-layer machine shipping projects to simplify processes and increase branch participation, while recommending vertical storage to maximize space.

Implementation Schedule: Developed a phased implementation plan, allowing gradual integration of improvements within three months without disrupting ongoing operations.

 

KEY RESULTS & INSIGHTS

  • Throughput Gains: Projected throughput increased significantly, with an immediate improvement identified to start realizing gains even before full implementation.

  • Labor Efficiency: Standardized processes and ergonomic improvements reduced labor costs and cycle times, leading to sustainable cost savings.

  • Scalable Workflows: Universal workstations and centralized inventory management created a flexible system that supports up to 60% future growth in workstation capacity.

  •  Quick Payback: The business case demonstrated a payback period of less than one year, with some benefits realized within the first month.

  • Operational Transparency: Improved tracking and reporting systems provided greater visibility into refurbished inventory, enabling better decision-making and planning.
