Size Matters DGI Supply has the invested capital and human resources to implement a solution for long-term continuous improvement. Show Me The Money DGI Supply partnered with a key account to tackle their escalating new tooling costs by instituting RoboCrib 2000 vending machines to dispense tools. These machines utilized a forced reference that vended regrinds when available instead of new tools. The control utilization of reground tooling saved $700,000 in new tooling spend during the first four months of implementation. This lowered total tooling cost by 70% per day through reduced consumption and lower inventory costs.
