Many managers assume that a person issuing items from the tool crib is cheaper than a machine. The sums look different once you add the cost of time, shortages and 24/7 availability.
Traditional tool crib
- Issuing only during the storekeeper’s working hours.
- Control dependent on people and discipline.
- Data created manually (or not at all).
Machine + platform
- 24/7 availability with no staff.
- Control and logging with every issue.
- Data in the system straight away — for settlements and planning.
When the machine wins
Fastest with high-turnover products, shift work and many users. Then the time saved and the drop in shortages outweigh the cost of the equipment.
