Even the smallest, cheapest component can cause production downtime if not delivered on time. To keep customers’ supply chains running, TFC offers bespoke vendor managed inventory (VMI) services, so manufacturers can consolidate their suppliers and streamline inventory management. Customers benefit from reliable access to the components they need, saving time, money and stress.
The VMI service has been adapted in light of the pandemic, for example to minimise handling and time on site, to keep customers and staff safe. TFC offers overnight installations, bin pre stocking and pre labelling to help you access the components you need while minimising time on site and maintaining effective social distancing This means VMI customers can safely obtain the components they need, when they need them.
Another supply chain technology the company has seen good results with recently is vending machines. Implementing vending technology for consumables, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), means inventory can be carefully managed to ensure correct distribution. Vending can limit excess usage, leading to 25 to 40 per cent reduction overall.
