In-Plant-Stores

The 'In-Plant-Store' concept generates the most significant cost savings of all of the programs. Cost savings generally equate to about 5% of the annual purchases. NRC would assume roles within the Customer that would normally be sponsored by the customer. Reduction of on hand inventory is responsible for approximately 3% of the total cost savings in acquired costs.

JIT2

A full time on site representative of NRC would manage MRP issues, work with local engineers, sit in on meetings that might affect supply such as; project planning, engineering changes, schedule changes, etcetera. Our experience has been each customer will see an immediate reduction in manpower overhead. Acquired costs tend to differ from account to account and it is difficult to measure the net worth of an on site employee because of the nature of the cost savings. Knowing in advance that a product is being rescheduled can save time, which translates to dollars when dealing with the Supply-Chain.

Bread-man

With this model, as in previous models, communication is key to accomplishing any pre-established goals. Typically WIP inventory resides close to the manufacturing line be it 'Pick and Place' equipment for any surface mount products, automatic insertion for axial and radial product, hand insertion, or prepping area. An agreed upon quantity, and time frame are set as maintenance levels for service by an NRC. This activity typically translates to about 3% annually.

Part Standardization

It is conceivable to see a reduction of 10% or more in the number of AVL items, as well as a reduction of costs due to increases in volume and their associated volume discounts. This would also equate to a potential reduction in the total on-hand inventory. The cost savings are based on hidden costs and are difficult to extrapolate.
