There are often many suppliers involved to make up a C part pack, which means a small purchasing volume and many control processes. The availability of C parts, such as fasteners and fixings, however, are essential for the production and sales processes of our customers. By outsourcing and optimising these valuable processes for procurement, the cost/profit ratio can be increased considerably. Stafa Assembly can provide the following C parts activities that you would otherwise need to carry out yourself:
1. Ordering/purchasing
2. Receipt, control and administration
3. Storage and internal logistics, stock control
4. Order picking
5. Packaging, finishing, making up, assembly
6. Organisational activities around production
7. Preparation for transport
8. Distribution
9. Quality control, prefinance, insurance, etc
Compared to A and B products, these products have very high order and stock costs in relation to the total number of individual orders. This means high process costs in relation to the purchasing costs. In general, about 20% of the total number of C articles bought by a company represents 80% of the costs. In the case of A and B articles, this is the other way round.
Saving on C parts by using the services of Gopak BV therefore offers you many advantages.
Cost savings with purchasing
- Control of incoming goods and administration
- 15-45% reduction in the process costs for C articles
- Avoiding administrative errors
- No prefinance and with JIT supplies a better overall result
- Concentration on A and B articles
- No risk with regard to availability (Gopak’s responsibility)
- Permanent availability and demand-driven supplies
- No price negotiations
- Fewer suppliers
- Larger package with one supplier – better purchasing prices
- Transparency – you know where we purchase and the prices. We can also purchase from your chosen supplier, or source a (possibly cheaper) alternative
Cost-savings with logistics
- Reduction of the general stock level
- Reduction in (expensive) order picking and internal transport activities reduce the cyle time
- Reduction in packaging and waste costs
Gopak optimises the goods flow and the costs connected with C parts. You therefore save on the whole chain of processes, not just on individual processes. Let Gopak take care of your logistical and organisational services, so that you can focus on your Core Business.
