The Benefits of Single Source Procurement & Multistage Manufacturing From Brooks
28 September 2023
We have produced a video that demonstrates the benefits of using a single source supplier such as Brooks Forgings for all your component procurement and manufacturing requirements.
It is not uncommon for businesses to utilise multiple suppliers to produce single or multiple components for a specific project. For example, this may include a forger, a section bender, a machinist, a fabricator, and a finisher.
This can create many inefficiencies and problems such as:
· Sending out multiple RFQs.
· Waiting for and chasing multiple quotations.
· Placing and expediting multiple purchase orders.
· Make many phone calls to discuss progress, quality, or delivery concerns.
· Administration and project management costs are greatly increased.
· Extended lead times and unforeseen costs if one or multiple suppliers in the production chain fail.
· Multiple transportation costs, increasing carbon footprint.
A combination of some or all of these inefficiencies will cost you money, and time, and potentially repeat business if customers are let down with delivery deadlines.
If this scenario sounds familiar, Brooks Forgings can potentially offer you a solution.
