Ensuring on-time part availability in the field

Modern Supply Chain practices to meet ever increasing customer demands

Supply chains have become increasingly complex. While increased globalisation has brought new opportunities, increased pressures on free trade, along with resource shortages, has increased risk and uncertainty. Once landed in local warehouses the pressure to ensure the on-time delivery of individual parts remains critical to delivering a great customer experience.  The effect of these supply chain demands has seen increased stock holdings and a greater focus on returns and refurbishment to ensure that parts are available to maintain critical equipment. As a result, it’s little surprise that over 40% of the supply chain delivery costs are to and from the field service edge. In response, supply chain teams are working with operations and field service teams to modernise their field inventory, securely holding parts closer to customers to increase availability and reduce the cost to serve.

Improve part availability in the field with increased visibility and control

By transforming field service inventory across your business key teams can gain visibility of the available parts in the field. This frees trapped inventory and ensures that the required parts are available for the next job. This visibility can be extended to returns, giving supply chain teams visibility of parts being returned along with the opportunity to collect early condition assessments from the field technician. These improvements reduce the pressure on stock holdings and make deliveries and replenishment more predictable. They also reduce delivery costs and reduce shrinkage.
