Supply Chain
Our lean manufacturing approach is more than a promise. It's what we do.
We help optimize your supply chain by bringing together the right support, processes, solutions, and locations. And we can ensure your consistent supply by leveraging our strong relationships with mills and our extensive processing network.
INCREASE INVENTORY TURNS
Lean manufacturing results in shorter lead times.
Because we’re always looking for ways to serve you better, we set up our Velocity Program—and cut lead times to our customers by 200%. How did we do it? A cross-functional Worthington team did a deep dive into our inventory flow and plant scheduling. This allowed us to run leaner, with greater production efficiencies across the board. Our just-in-time focus helps us respond better to changes in our customers’ demand levels, giving them more flexibility when ordering and improved inventory turns.
REDUCE MANUFACTURING WASTE
Blanking can streamline your operations.
Looking to streamline your manufacturing processes and reduce operational costs? Consider ordering blanks instead of full coils. Worthington’s blanking services can save valuable floor space in your facility and significantly cut machine and labor hours. Plus, you'll reduce your freight expenses by not shipping excess steel that will eventually become scrap. Read our paper to learn more about the advantages of blanking.
OPTIMIZE SHIPPING AND FREIGHT
From here to there, smarter solutions.
In today's trucking climate, capacity constraints, lack of drivers, and increasing regulations affect rates and threaten driver productivity. We take steps to optimize these logistics for you, focusing on saving driver time when products are picked up from or delivered to our facility.
