Small Manufacturer Improves Supply Chain Visibility, Cuts Cycle Time and Costs
Overview As a small contract manufacturer with customers ranging from large aerospace contractors to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing's (KMM's) efficiency, productivity, and responsiveness are key to its success. By moving from a largely manual manufacturing and supply chain process to an automated RFID (Radio-frequency identification)-enabled infrastructure, KMM has been able to improve inventory visibility, cut costs, reduce lead times, enhance customer service, and increase efficiency and productivity. KMM achieved this by combining RFID technology with Microsoft software for its financial, manufacturing, and RFID infrastructure. KMM now has capabilities once limited to sophisticated systems used by much larger firms. The Boeing Company will offer the system as a model for supply-chain automation to its other small and midsize manufacturing suppliers.
