There is no doubt about it: When you are organized, you and your shop are running well. Everything has its place, and when it’s not there, you spend a lot of needless time searching for the things you need so you can complete your job.
That’s the reason we offer Maintenance Efficiency Centers. MECs, as we call them, stock the most used items – be it nuts and bolts, washers, wire connectors, “DOT” fittings, body clips, fuses or anything else in a highly organized set of drawers complete with labels and lid charts.
But what do MECs do?
Fair question. By keeping everything in its place, MECs save you time. You aren’t walking back and forth across your shop looking for the 20-amp fuse that was right there a second ago. That saves you money because you are working instead of searching. If you pay a tech $24 an hour and that tech spends 10 minutes looking for a part, you just lost $4. Think about how much time and money gets wasted on a weekly basis …
So, how do you get started? Well, you start with your Rep, because they are the expert. You have 700 options when it comes to assortments, so those clearly can’t be listed here.
It would be easier to tell you what we don’t have, but suffice it to say we have you covered. We have assortments for body shops that include clips, fasteners, washers, nuts and bolts.
We have electrical assortments that have solderless terminals, wire nuts, heat shrink terminals, cable ties, etc.
We have fastening system assortments that contains different sizes, threads (USS or SAE), metric or domestic. You can even make assortments of stainless steel fasteners or cotter pins.
We have fluid flow assortments that contain grease fittings, “DOT” fittings, O-Rings and plugs.
We also have shop supplies in assortments, as well as cutting tools, auto fleet and chemicals. We even have safety and lighting assortments! Really, your choices are exponential.
