Improving Production Capabilities: Cabinet Creations with DES

Tommy Smith, a DES customer, shares his thoughts on the positive outcomes of acquiring a CNC machine for his cabinet shop, Cabinet Creations. In hindsight, Tommy regrets not investing in a CNC machine for his business twenty years ago, recognizing the significant advantage it would have brought. Despite the initial challenges and learning curve, the decision to implement this technology has turned out to be invaluable for his business.

"My advice is to work with a quality company like DES. They have my best interests at heart and aren't just trying to sell me a machine. Thanks to their experience working with so many other shops, they help me think through what I really need and how to improve. And they service what they sell. They area one stop resource."

"I don't have to keep it running every single day, it's already paid for itself. I can run it on a Saturday for a couple of hours and make the payment for the month."

Cost Savings and ROI

After investing in the CNC machine, Tommy saw a remarkable decrease of over 85% in his monthly costs for door production, which he previously outsourced. The machine not only covers its own cost through door production but also provides cabinet components as an extra benefit. Should the need arise, Tommy can personally operate the machine, allowing his employees to focus on other responsibilities. Additionally, the software maximizes sheet utilization, resulting in minimal scrap material being generated.

Production Efficiency

Tommy has expertly crafted over 3500 MDF doors with precision using the CNC machine. His efficiency has skyrocketed, leading to a reduction in dimension verification after cutting. This cutting-edge technology not only saves valuable time but also allows Tommy to produce a high volume of doors daily, ensuring his team stays occupied for up to two weeks. Mastering the machine operation has boosted productivity levels across the board.

Improvements in Workflow and Inventory Management

The enhanced efficiency of the machine has revolutionized the workflow at Cabinet Creations, enabling just-in-time cutting, optimizing floor space, and minimizing the requirement for material stock. This heightened efficiency also releases more working capital by reducing the necessity to stockpile materials.

Success with Diversified Equipment and Supply (DES)

Tommy appreciates having the knowledgeable people at DES behind him for setup and ongoing support. Before purchasing the ANDI Selexx 510 machine, a major concern for Cabinet Creations was getting software to support their unique cabinet design. DES worked closely with the software company and after undergoing some trial and error, the machine now perfectly executes their specific requirements.
