Anyone who has filled a cup with a cold drink at many of the leading fast food restaurants has probably seen our label and nameplate products. We supply these products, as well as the ones you don’t see inside the beverage machines, to world leaders in this market. Our printed parts must be eye-catching in some applications, as well as sturdy and easy to read in other applications. Still other applications require extreme precision in printing, cutting and assembly. We provide this in all of our products – every day.
A leading producer of commercial beverage dispensing machines invited GSI to consult on how they could save money and improve efficiencies. Over just a couple of months, we audited their shop floors, collected samples of every label and nameplate product they used – hundreds of SKU’s, studied their usage and order patterns, and consulted with their engineering, manufacturing and supply chain personnel. Our proposal guaranteed them substantial savings in unit costs, in ordering efficiencies, and in shop floor efficiency improvements. And GSI delivered on our guarantee. In less than 6 months we fully implemented all of the changes and programs we had proposed, including installation of a Kanban program that is truly a win-win solution. We are delivering the substantial savings we promised, and our customer has demonstrated their confidence in us by bringing us into several additional operations.
