PERFECT TO SIZE EVERY TIME
 

This Case Study Added On: May 1, 2001

Brady Bois is a swiss screw machine shop. When dealing with smaller runs or limited needs their legacy production system involved purchasing oversized diameters of stainless steel and subcotracting with a local grinder to bring it down to the required finished size. The process was time consuming in that the stock was purchased by Brady Bois and delivered to their facility. From there it was transferred to subcontractor where, because it was a low volume job, it frequently required the attention of someone at Brady Bois to see that the project kept moving. When completed it was picked up by Brady Bous delivery vehicle and transferred back to the main plant. In all this was a time consuming and inefficient process, but one Brady Bois felt confident was necessary to maintaing their rigid standards.

Said Paul Hancock of Brady Bois, " We knew the requirements were low and the subcontractor could not be expected to drop everything whenever we needed but it got to be a part time job keeping after this stuff."

The company's commitment to quality and precision left them unwilling to consider alternatives and this process continued for many years. Luckily, almost by accident, Brady Bois learned of a stainless steel product line called PLUSZERO that could be delivered on an immediate basis, perfectly ground to size and in very small quantities.

"We're precision company in a precision business so we view everything with a degree of skepticism." Hancock noted. " We were pleasantly surprised to find that PLUSZERO lived up to the most exacting standards."

"Making the switch to PLUSZERO allowed us to remove all the work and trouble of getting small run, perfectly sizes stainless. The product is perfect and we save money by removing legwork."
