CHARACTERISTICS
Machine Parts for assembly line

DETAILS
ALG Worldwide was contacted by a Fortune 100 Company that manufactures laundry detergent, paper towels, Diapers and more. In response to the urgent need for PPE Production the company retrofitted one of their manufacturing plants to go from making Diapers to making PPE. Due the constant demand for PPE, key components of the manufacturing line shorted out and stopped running. With the line down and production halted, they contacted ALG Worldwide to arrange for a truck to pick up from the supplier and deliver to their plant so production could resume. ALG Worldwide was able to secure a driver and had them at the pick-up location within 35 minutes to wait for the machine parts to be produced and packaged. ALG Worldwide’s Control Tower kept a close watch and the stakeholders were able to track the shipment in real-time thru ALGTrack available on ALG Worldwide’s website. Driver made the approximately 145-mile trip and arrived shortly after the start of second shift. They offloaded the parts, which allowed the second shift to restart production of much needed PPE.
