Dryco Building Supplies

Dryco Building Supplies is a leading Canadian supplier of packaged building supplies with a head office in Langley B.C. The company also has branches in Alberta and Ontario.

Dryco is typical of a company where transportation of goods is not the core business, but it is an essential part of the business. The operations manager was heavily tasked with keeping his fleet available, cost efficient and compliant.

The process changes KelRoy introduced to this company saved them more than 30% in annual maintenance costs. The return on investment was less than two months.

The project included:

1. Creating and implementing a third party repair strategy for heavy trucks, cranes, forklifts and trailers.
2. Selecting and implementing a web based computerized maintenance management system for repair tracking, compliance and cost analysis.
3. Staff training in maintenance management and the computerized software solution.
4. Selection of preferred vendors and negotiation of service level agreements.
5. Preventative maintenance program set-up.

The management at Dryco made a good business decision when they focused on their core business and outsourced the solution to their maintenance challenges.
