- Reduced inventory costs through integrated storage and assembly
- Prevent the risk of damage to parts in open packages
- Safer use of similar parts and elimination of search times
- Ensuring the correct assembly sequence by providing the components in a specific order
- Guarantee the use of the most current material parts list
- Securing high value components in the kitting package
- Standardized kits enable automation
- Shorter throughput and lead times
