Polytex is an Australian tarpaulin manufacturer based in Leeton, NSW, producing solutions for agriculture, industrial and commercial applications.
Following a lean manufacturing audit, Polytex identified an opportunity to improve the way tools and equipment were stored and managed on site. The team needed a supplier that could provide a custom solution for their specific tools rather than an off-the-shelf setup.
Searching for a supplier that could make the process easy and deliver something purpose-built, Polytex chose 5Trak. The 5Trak team came on site, measured everything up and created a custom shadowboard solution designed around the exact tools used by the team.
The result has been a dramatic increase in efficiency, with some teams saving up to 30 minutes a day. That time saving has helped improve day-to-day productivity while also creating a cleaner, more organised and more visual workspace.
“After our lean manufacturing audit, we needed a better way to organise our custom tools and equipment. 5Trak made the process extremely easy by coming on site, measuring everything up and delivering a solution tailored to exactly what we needed. The result has dramatically increased efficiencies, saving some of our teams up to 30 minutes a day and helping improve productivity.” — Ryan, Polytex
