Supply Chain Management

Production Control & Capacity Management

MC employs an Advanced Planning & Scheduling system which goes far beyond traditional MRP approaches to production control. The APS system allows MC superior control over production activities.

Going beyond APS, MC uses utilization and efficiency reports (historical and current) to establish needs and identify and eliminate bottlenecks. Advanced Throughput Tools based on Eli Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints provide detailed views into potential bottlenecks and overall shop floor activity, allowing our capacity management team to make highly informed decisions.

We also make extensive use of a Kanban system for our primary materials.

Bar Coding & Specialized Labels

MC has full Barcode and Labeling capabilities. We use Zebra Thermal Printers (up to 6” wide) and can read and create all standard label formats. MC offers a standard shipping label (similar to the one pictured) or our staff can create a label tailored to your specific needs.
