Mayflower's ongoing lean initiative has taken another step forward, with the introduction of specialist vending machines at our Sheffield facility. 

There is a growing trend amongst manufacturers to provide PPE and tooling through vending machines, which are operated by cards assigned to employees.

The use of vending machines is a perfect fit for Mayflower's ongoing lean initiative, which focusses on the reduction of waste and non-productive time. 

"Installing the machines will bring numerous benefits. Our team will have quicker access to the tools they need for each job, which frees up time for our stores and procurement teams. It will also make it easier to track stock levels and reduce inventory"
