The Industrial Supply Association named JIS (Jergens Industrial Supply) of Cleveland the winner of the American Eagle Excellence in Industry Award at its 2014 Convention in New Orleans on May 17. The award recognized how JIS Industrial Supply created a productivity and technology partnership with a customer, Slabe Machine Products, to free up machine time and reduce total tool costs. Working in conjunction with the rep firm Browne & Company, Chardon, Ohio, and carbide cutting tools manufacturer Fullerton Tool Company of Saginaw, Mich., JIS helped Slabe Machine reduce machine time, extend tool life and lower total tooling cost. The program, which took several weeks to implement, generated total savings of more than $480,000.  “When a true partnership is formed at all levels of the supply chain, amazing things can happen,” said Jack Schron, president of Jergens Inc. “By using these partnership programs, JIS, Browne & Company and Fullerton Tool are confident that we can become true leaders in partnering with local businesses by providing leading edge technology and productivity gains to keep manufacturing strong in the USA.”

Lexington Cutter proudly accepted the 2007 American Eagle Award for Value Added Manufacture at the 2007 ISA Conference and Trade Show in Las Vegas.  ISA American Eagle Award 2007 honors Lexington Cutter This prestigious award was presented as a result of the dramatic cost savings documented to Briggs and Stratton’s Alabama plant.
Lexington Cutter’s Vice President of Sales Junita St Esprit and Vice President of Technical Services Jim Trammell were invited by Jason Mathis of Max Tool to evaluate an application at Briggs and Stratton. The goal was to reduce tooling cost in a project that used custom carbide step drills on large runs of cast iron flywheels. Lexington Cutter designed a custom carbide tipped step drill that was priced nearly 50 percent lower than the previous drill used by Briggs and Stratton, but achieved 10 times the performance. The tool produced 11,000 parts per tool, compared to just 1,100 parts for the tool it replaced. The previous tool generated a tooling cost of $0.454 per part, compared to just $0.0262 per part for the new tool, for a total monthly savings of $12,850. |
