In a Two-bin system the stock at the at the customer’s site is kept in two evenly matched stock bins.
With a two-bin system an undisturbed production is guaranteed. Based on the customers’ prognoses Albema-Robema B.V. creates a stockpile especially reserved for each customer. Each stockpile is monitored, managed and adjusted in concurrence with the customer’s usage pattern.
At your company we put up racks filled with bins. This can be done centralized in your own warehouse or decentralized per production line or workstation. The stock at each location is based on such facts as weekly volume, spread of usage, product value and frequency of delivery. The stock of each item is equally divided over two bins that are placed behind each other in the rack. The contents of one bin are sufficient to cover the usage of a specified period.
While producing or assembling you use the products in the front bin. When this bin is empty, you take it out of the rack and put it in the designated chest we have made available to you. Subsequently you pull the second bin forward to continue your production. At regular, agreed upon intervals our driver collects the chests with empty bins. At these moments the bins that have been collected at the previous visit -which have been filled by us- are placed back into the rack behind the active bins.
We have the disposal of custom-made software to make your two-bin system perform optimally. Through continuous monitoring of facts like delivery frequency and usage pattern, we are able to fine-tune the two-bin system to perfectly fit your needs. This way the stock level at both your company and our warehouse is optimized and we are always able to supply you with detailed information about your materials usage.
It is also possible to integrate project-based deliveries into your two-bin system; for instance when a production line is used to manufacture regularly changing end-products. If we receive the necessary information about your upcoming projects on time, we can adapt the contents of the two-bin system. This way the stock in carried by the two-bin system is always fully in sync with your material requirement planning. If you wish we can also integrate items from other suppliers or your own semi-finished products in the two-bin system.
A two-bin system is always fully custom-made and every two-bin system is unique. We would therefore gladly visit your company to assess the situation on site and discuss the possibilities with you. If a two-bin system is the solution for your situation we will make a proposal for the implementation that is completely tailor-made to meet your specific wishes and requirements.
