“C•MVP” transforms the way manufacturers manage and maintain their physical assets

BROOKSVILLE, Fla., September 23, 2019 – COAST Systems, a global computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) technology provider that offers specialized plastics manufacturing consulting and global mold asset management services, announces its new “C•MVP” offering, also known as the COAST Mold Visibility Program.

C•MVP by COAST Systems combines powerful computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) with expert mold management advice to help manufacturers gain total control over the integrity, reliability, and whereabouts of their physical mold assets. According to Bill Cunha, vice president of business development at COAST Systems, it’s not unusual for tooling manufacturers to have difficulty locating their assets at any given time. “This can be especially challenging for companies with multiple manufacturing facilities who may or may not share valuable tool assets,” said Cunha. “Whether those assets leave their original location or not, it’s difficult to maintain business continuity and keep up with supply and demand when the exact location and condition of molds isn’t readily known,” Cunha added. “COAST’s C•MVP is a costeffective opportunity for medium- and large-scale enterprises to stabilize supply chains, reduce budgeting efforts to support mold lifecycle, centralize important tooling information, and standardize processes throughout your global organization.”

Once this occurs, they can predict and budget for the future since every tool has a lifespan,” Sherman explained. “Our complete global mold asset management solution is a forward-thinking and streamlined approach that elevates companies to new levels of manufacturing excellence.”

The comprehensive program is ideal for multinational consumer packaged goods, medical device, pharmaceutical, industrial, and automotive manufacturers. It is designed to help all involved parties create a better understanding of asset management, reach a consensus on manufacturing objectives, and work with COAST to prepare a customized plan for successful implementation.

The COAST Mold Visibility Program integrates with the company’s CMMS platform that offers a flexible and configurable interface, fast setup and deployment, ISO compliance, and 100% Amazon cloud-based storage. “We are uniquely able to combine our proven technology with high-level support because of our team’s deep experience in plastics manufacturing and maintenance management,” said Sherman. “Not only is our global mold asset management program unique, but it was developed by experts who truly understand the daily challenges that occur on the plant floor.”
