NewStream received and turned kits for the entire North American sales promotion in a two day turn time. The customer’s capacity issues showed further in their kitting program.Packaging turn time was reduced from over two weeks at the customer’s location to three days at NewStream, allowing the customer to increase its fill rate at its parts distribution center.The teams quadrupled volume within the first two weeks into order to further ease backlog issues, increasing customer service for the client. Efficiencies were realized by the customer after transitioning single parts packaging to NewStream.NewStream helped reconcile the majority of these issues quickly, packaging over 75% their customer backlogged products in a 60-day period as vendor fill rate continued to be a problem for the customer. Capacity and supply chain issues created a large backlog of packaging orders for the customer.The company was also able to focus on customer order fulfillment as it transitioned its single parts packaging from an in-house operation to NewStream’s Springfield facility, resulting in a 75% decrease in its customer backlog over a 60 day period. In addition to increasing warehousing utilization by enlisting NewStream’s experienced associates for their single parts packaging and kitting needs, the OEM was able to reduce its labor cost within the Midwest PDC with the elimination of its third shift.
In fact, it was so successful that the team not only helped write the packaging specifications for the majority of the product, they were also able to help the OEM see an increase in warehouse utilization of their Midwest PDC. NewStream’s in-house packaging engineering team stepped in and made that happen successfully.
Lastly, the OEM needed help on packaging requirements for almost all components. NewStream quickly received and turned kits for the entire North American sales promotion with a turn time of two days. A sales promotion was scheduled to start for the OEM and specialized kits needed to be in stock for their national sales team. In addition to providing a solution to its single parts packaging, the OEM once again went to NewStream to help with a kitting issue. Two weeks after the Springfield meeting, trucks flowed into NewStream’s facility at the rate of one per week, then quickly flexed to one per day with NewStream setting up a dedicated carrier from the customer’s PDC to Springfield and back to keep the flow of material to the customer’s expectations. A plan was devised to reroute backlogged packaging work orders to NewStream to relieve the pressure from the Midwest PDC. The team was impressed by the processes, flexibility, technology, and culture within the warehouse. There was a major backlog of packaging work orders and customer order fulfillment was stalled.Īfter on-site discussions at the OEM’s PDC, the OEM warehouse team visited NewStream’s kitting and packaging operations in Springfield, Missouri. Its alot to read but in the end they dont treat everyone right and being treated right is worth more than being paid good.A leading agricultural original equipment manufacturer (OEM) contacted NewStream in the midst of its busy season with an issue: Capacity was strained in their newly-built Midwest parts distribution center (PDC). Its no surprise they cant keep people nor hire new people. Its either do what we say or find a new job.
So being told in the interview process your schedule is 8 but then your told "We are working 10s for the foreseeable future." THAT IS NOT A TIMEFRAME!!! PLACES LIKE THIS HAVE ZERO DISREGARD FOR WORK LIFE BALANCES. They say its a 8 hour schedule but they LIE to you its actually over 50 hours a week and you have NO CHOICE in the matter you either work it or you get points and get fired unlesss your a buddy buddy with the boss. Last but not least there there is ZERO coordination on how they handle mandatory overtime. We had one forklift guy take a week off then he said he got exposed the company made him quarantine just to be safe they didnt make him take a test or anything even though cdc has change guidelines on being quarantined. The covid practices make it a nightmare to work here because so many people can call out WITHOUT being exposed dirctly to covid. Supervisor are more flexible towards other employees that they like rather than being based on company policies. There are 100 percent double standards in this place like when the supervisor walk on the production floor on their phone without steeltoes. This is the job you go to when you need extra money you cannot build a career at NSE.
