The biggest mistake being made in Corrugated Litho Lamination today is who chooses the raw material vendors? I have tested, documented and proven superior performance on many occasions just to be told by the Corporate Buyers " We can't make that switch. What adhesives and starches that are used should only be the choice of the groups directly running the equipment. We are no longer in a one size fits all world where what works at one plant is best for the rest. The corporate buyer sitting at a desk has no idea what it takes to build success and should have no say in what is needed at the production level.

Most of the OEMs we work with have similar priorities when selecting a sheet metal supplier: efficiency, quality and convenience. While many shops can offer quick-turn solutions and high-quality products, they may not be able to offer optimal convenience when they need to send parts out for services they cannot handle in-house. Working with a one-stop shop eliminates the need for your parts to travel between multiple vendors. This reduces the hassle associated with navigating timelines and coordinating expectations with multiple vendors.

Precision Metal Stamping - How to Find a Qualified Supplier (Ten Factors to Consider) [Written by Rick Pollick Mgr., Strategic Marketing - Penn United Technologies, Inc. August 14, 2009] When selecting a supplier for stamped metal components with tight tolerances and critical features, there are some important factors that you should consider. Although important, unit cost should not be the sole deciding factor as explained below. Making a purchasing decision only based on quoted cost may result in overall dissatisfaction with a supplier's performance, or even in a disastrous situation. Do you know what those ten factors are?

There are a lot of challenges to resourcing direct materials, so many buyers don’t cultivate alternative suppliers. This is a huge mistake. No competitive pressure = higher costs. We’ve seen it over and over again. Challenges to resourcing include things like: ·        Extensive/costly testing of new materials or supplier ·        Lengthy customer approval process ·        Not easy to find suppliers that are a cultural fit with your company ·        Your components require specialized capabilities not all suppliers have The process story is, 1.     Buyers look at a category, sees one or more of these challenges, 2.     Buyer gives up. The trick is to dig one step deeper and segment the spend into sub-categories. We find actionable sub-categories with enough spend to make it worthwhile 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. Here’s an example: A company had a $36M injection molding spend. They segmented the spend into 4 groups: 1.     Grained Class A - $20M 2.     Functional black plastic - $6M 3.     Assemblies - $5M 4.     Painted parts - $5M ❌ Grained Class A parts require lengthy customer approvals ✅ Functional black plastic parts – no challenges! ❌ Assemblies require extensive testing ❌ Painted parts of difficult quality requirements most suppliers can’t meet There is a $6M segment that is ripe for introducing competitive pressure.  My experience is, there’s $200k+ savings possible in this type of opportunity. To identify quick savings on direct materials, look for segments that lack competitive pressure and don’t have any big challenges to resourcing. Are you a manufacturing leader that needs to implement savings starting in 2024? DM me to discuss if you might have untapped opportunities to implement $200k - $500k savings in as little as 14 weeks (with fees based on savings achieved). #CostReduction #Sourcing #Procurement
