1 About KitPackers & ResinLab
KitPackers was founded in the early 1970s in Minneapolis, MN and then purchased by Ellsworth Adhesives in To further the efficiencies of the two companies, KitPackers was moved to Germantown, WI in 1987. In 1994, KitPackers combined operations with Resinlab, another unit of Ellsworth Adhesives and moved into a new facility on Morse Drive in the Germantown Industrial Park. The new Morse Drive facility was built adjacent to the Ellsworth Adhesives facility on Fulton Drive. The three companies, KitPackers, Resinlab and Ellsworth Adhesives complimented each other tremendously: KitPackers provided custom chemical packaging Resinlab formulated and blended resins to customer specifications Ellsworth Adhesives distributed these products together with a complete line of specialty chemicals from major manufacturers. The result of this synergy was rapid growth that necessitated the need for more space for all three companies. In 2003, Ellsworth Adhesives moved to a new 85,000 sq. ft. World Headquarters and Distribution Center in a new Germantown business park. The move made the Fulton Drive facility available for KitPackers, and allowed KitPackers to quadruple its manufacturing space, purchase new state of the art packaging equipment, and improve overall efficiencies. On December 14, 2012, KitPackers and Resinlab moved into this 107,000 square foot facility, just five miles from the Fulton Drive location and very near the main Ellsworth Adhesives building. The new building greatly expands production, laboratory and office space for the business with room to expand as the business grows.

7 Prepare for Production
All manufactured items have Routings and BOM’s Standard costing – standard method of manufacture is on the item card Modified NAV to create a BOM/Routing table – when this customer buys/use this routing, has quantity breaks, and has yield from column (specified for our business) Fully utilize work centers – overhead rates Routing link codes on Routing/BOM are used to ensure components print on job card under the correct work center Below are a couple pages to a typical production order

8 Purchasing Standard NAV PO’s are created
Replenishment System: Purchase We use Fixed Reorder Quantity with reorder quantity for stocked items Everything else uses Lot for Lot (buy and consume) Use planning worksheet filtered to Purchase to create purchase orders – with start/end dates Replenishment System: Production Order Resinlab production orders are created this way Stocked Kitpackers manufactured items are created this way Planning from the sales order Purchasing creates most purchase orders for Kitpackers

12 Product Realization Product Realization
We use standard NAV cycle counts with the Physical Inventory Journal (ABC codes on the SKU) Staging raw materials for the Production Order Modification to help create the reclass journal – to move from warehouse bin to a staged bin We have Lot number traceability on all the chemicals – from receipt to consumption Use Output journal to post labor by Employee. Also use the Capacity journal to post indirect labor. This information is used along with Jet Reports to create productivity cards by employee We use Reservations to track where raw material and finished good inventory is used.

13 Delivery & Invoicing Shipping We use E-Ship for shipping FedEx & UPS
Other truck shipments: warehouse shipment with manual tracking input to NAV Invoicing Prior – Review of Order Entry Audit Jet report RTC to accumulate all invoicing and cost review screens in one location Including a Shipped Not Invoiced filtered list Post Batch to invoice sales orders Send Using Setup to send posted invoices via DocumentPath
