In any industry it is important to have a reliable supply chain – it is often a critical factor of success in meeting your customers’ expectations.
We operate in a globally assimilated world. As a result we find that the combination of business carrying lower inventory, and the expectation of timely deliveries on short notice, means supplier dependability is fundamental to business success.
It is not only up to the supplier to be reliable, but as a purchaser we must also prove to be consistent. The more predictable we become, the more our suppliers can correctly plan on ensuring our requirements are met. If we can forecast our demand we can then project what we require from our suppliers, which allows them to prepare for the demands of the industry.
At Precision Balancing we believe it is also important that we diversify our supply position to maintain our customer service levels. We provide a diverse range of industrial services, and therefore manage a wide portfolio of partners in our supply chain, including design engineers and technical consultants, specialist material suppliers and equipment hire contractors, specialist engineering companies, machine shops, welding inspectors and tool makers.
It is imperative that we remain resilient and always expect the unexpected, and be prepared to respond proactively to any situation. Sometimes it is necessary to create a dual supply for parts and raw materials, so that if one supplier
is unable to meet our requirements,
the other can assist.
We also believe it is important to develop trust with our suppliers, and not to overload them and create an unmanageable workload, or set unrealistic deadlines. Their business is important too, and we want to see them be just as successful. We have to be equitably transparent with them and offer them correct information which will then enable them to respond to our needs appropriately.
Any company is only as strong as its weakest link, and as a supplier, our customers depend on our reliability. In order to meet the demands of our customers we therefore become dependent on our suppliers’ ability to meet our demands, and so it goes on. That’s why at Precision Balancing we believe it is integral for any business to invest in a reliable supply chain, and to manage it proactively to ensure the best results for your customers and suppliers.
