CASHMORES PRODUCTIVITY PARTNERSHIPS Outsourcing your processing operations could save you time, money and valuable factory space Did you know that Cashmores can provide so much more than just coil slitting services?
With our new two-shift working day now fully established, we’re achieving an ontime delivery rate averaging over 97% Back in June 2019, we introduced a new double shift pattern at our plant, to meet demand and improve our responsiveness. Plant shifts are now from
6am to 10pm. This move has resulted in an average reduction in lead times of 50% – and an on-time delivery rate averaging over 97%.
We’re getting great feedback from customers who are enjoying accurate, timely deliveries, backed up by efficient administration services.
At our Birmingham factory, we can also undertake a wide range of processing, fabrication & finishing operations as an integrated part of your manufacturing strategy, including: • Edge Dressing • Cutting • Bending • Polishing • and more

YOUR METAL YOUR WAY PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS FOR LEADING LEISURE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURER
MORE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER & MORE PRODUCTIVE WITH CASHMORES! MONTHLY CONSOLIDATED INVOICING Bogged down by too much ‘paperwork’? Many customers have told us how they appreciate getting a single monthly invoice rather than loads of itemised transactions. It’s just another way we help to make life easier and more productive for customers!
MANAGING YOUR MATERIALS TRACEABILITY Having worked in close partnership with this customer for a number of years, we’ve helped them to reduce scrap levels and raise productivity through a variey of process improvements. We have applied quality management processes including product awareness training for their shop floor which involved meeting with the customer and their plant operatives who cut the material.
We have also improved investment in machinery inspection tables and Total Preventative Maintenance. We are currently running at high OTIF’s by creating Kanban stocks and running Lines of Balance on the demand and inventory levels. Call us today to discuss how we can help to streamline YOUR process.
We can either supply test certificates with your deliveries, or if you prefer, we can hold all certificates and records for you on our system.
