What is a MAAG kit?
MAAG is an acronym for “Modular At A Glance”
Modular:
Kits are made from individual “cells”
Each cell can be replaced separately
Entire kits do not need to be replaced to accommodate small BOM changes or individual part number changes
Design protects kit investment and useable life

5. What is a MAAG kit? At A Glance
With a simple glance employees can almost instantly verify:
Part quantities, Part numbers
Part missing, Part condition, etc.
Installation Technician will not have to:
Count parts, Verify part types, etc.
Significantly lowers build times and labor hours
Cut open bags (excluding clean parts) or envelopes
dramatically reduces FOD

6. MAAG kit vs Foam kit
These kits contain the same quantity and type of hardware. Beside the obvious improvement the MAAG kit is ¼ of the size of the foam kit.

7. This MAAG kit replaced the bin kit on the right.
