Many process improvements are applied to manufacturing environments, but Crane extends them into transactional and engineering processes as well. Engineers at Crane Aerospace and Electronics can now get their necessary electronic components and test instruments purchased with a simple log-on to Newark.com. They enter their order into Intelligent Buying (iBuy), which ships the order the same day. If their order exceeds a pre-designated amount, an automated email from the administrator goes to their manager or project manager. The manager simply clicks ‘approve’ and their order is processed and shipped, leaving the engineer with more time to focus on designing and testing product. What is iBuy?
