Project Description
We supply countless parts to our diverse customer base that incorporate one or more secondary services and finishes. These stainless steel specialty phil pan machine screws measuring 4/40 X 3/16 are a good example. They are made using 18-8 stainless steel and are then run through a Class 2 Black Oxide treatment. The final step is a nylon 11 thread locking patch application. We supply these specific machine screws to our customer on a revolving annual blanket purchase order basis.
It is no secret that when it comes to fasteners and hardware true cost savings are always linked to quantity. The Blanket Order concept allows the customer to access these cost savings without paying upfront for the entire large quantity order. Instead we take on the burden of carrying the bulk inventory and only release the parts as needed, or often on a pre-scheduled basis provided by the customer. This mutually beneficial arrangement allows the customer to spread out the cost of the parts over time, while both parties enjoy the benefit and improved competitiveness of drastically lower cost per piece.
