Introducing a case where a construction machinery manufacturer reduced procurement costs! *Problem-solving cases are also available!
Satoi Metal Co., Ltd. has responded to the increasingly sophisticated user needs in the bending processing of steel materials, steel plates, and special steels.
This time, we would like to introduce a case where a construction machinery manufacturer was able to reduce procurement costs.
[Concerns]
While we wanted to pursue productivity improvements in the manufacturing of our main product, the shield machine, there were no meaningful proposals or information provided by the trading companies from which we had traditionally ordered materials. In this context, we were consulted by our company through a referral from a competitor.
[Solutions]
◎ Procurement costs reduced through bulk ordering!
By placing orders for a certain volume, we were able to negotiate discounts on material and processing costs as part of the contract terms. Additionally, we could place bulk orders for everything from material procurement to multiple processing stages, leading to lower procurement costs.
◎ Access to the latest industry information!
We received timely information about competitors and end-user needs, making it easier to enhance our own productivity and reduce costs.
◎ Reduced product warranty risks!
It became easier for processing contractors to guarantee product quality at the stages of material procurement and processing, thereby decreasing warranty risks.
