Formerly known as APICS Puget Sound

Tour of Dynacraft Distribution and Assembly, a Division of Paccar

May 25th, 8:45-10:45 AM, Algona, WA

Learn and see how Dynacraft supplies parts and assemblies to keep Paccar Trucks rolling down the assembly line without any bumps in the road.

Sponsored by Dynacraft, Kocer Consulting + Engineering, and APICS Puget Sound

Dynacraft is a critical link in Paccar’s North American supply chain, supplying over 40,000 component and assembly part numbers for Kenworth and Peterbilt vehicles manufactured at six factories in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  The 83,000 square foot facility in Algona, Washington provides components, kits and assemblies for PACCAR’s Seattle-area and Mexico truck factories, as well as service parts shipments to Western U.S. Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers participating in the PACCAR Parts direct shipment program.

On this tour you will see a culture that takes pride in high quality and accountability for their JIT deliveries to the truck assembly lines.  They have a lean culture that empowers employees to make improvements to their assembly lines, and they have invested in technologies such as barcode scanning and tracking and pick by light to improve inventory accuracy and order accuracy.  Almost every subassembly is custom and made-to-order, and their inventory turns are over 60 per year.
