High downtime costs.
Any failure of a production machine means measurable losses for the company. Hours of downtime generate costs that significantly affect production efficiency. Losses are bigger, the more important part of the production line is the machine and the longer the downtime lasts. Some strategic parts can almost completely paralyze the functioning of the entire plant. It is impossible to completely protect yourself against failures, but a well organized company should be prepared to remove them as soon as possible. There are many methods to efficiently solve problems resulting from a failure. You can read about modern prevention methods in other articles of our blog.
Supplier and storage.
The key issue is having a reliable spare parts supplier who can quickly supply such components if necessary so that the mechanics do not have to wait long. Fast delivery guarantees reduced costs and stress resulting from breakdowns. It is also important to have adequate stock of spare parts on site. If you can store strategic parts, we have many benefits. Buying and maintaining such stocks is necessary to carry out quick repairs, but many companies do not have enough in them. Often times, we are faced with the idea of unprofitability of storage of parts. However, the purchase of such components before the failure occurs is a very prudent operation. This approach allows us to significantly reduce the cost of purchase. The main benefit of such solutions is the lack of the need to buy in the expres mode. We do not have to look feverishly for a part and pay the extra costs of getting it quickly. We also do not need to think about the availability of the product.
Analyze and reduce costs by up to 90%.
An important step before buying is to carry out a thorough analysis of which spare parts are the most important. Priority should have parts that most often goes problematic, intended for key machines and those that are hardly available. Having at least a few key components reduces the cost of delivery and losses resulting from their failure by up to 90%.
We often meet with orders of components appearing on the market in a negligible amount or practically impossible to obtain. We always do a huge job to keep the delivery time fast. We work on making our warehouses full of hard-to-reach parts. Choosing the right supplier, a good system for maintaining stock levels and extensive failure analysis, you can get almost trouble-free production support. Let us act so as not to allow costly downtime. If you want to know more - contact us.
