Falcon Fastening Solutions, Inc., a cost-reduction specialist for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) using production components in high-volume, reports an average customer cost savings of 14.4 percent for 2015.
Falcon’s services reduce waste from an OEM’s supply chain via vendor managed inventory (VMI) programs. These VMI programs are tailored specifically for each facility’s needs and goals associated with the management of their low-value, high-volume production parts.
“US manufacturers are great at making high-quality products. We enable these manufacturers to do what they do best, with greater efficiency and more profit. Managing production inventory is our core competency,” said Giovanni Caspedes, vice president of Falcon Fastening Solutions.
“The direct acquisition cost, or piece price, of the typical production component only accounts for 15 percent of the total cost of ownership (TCO). The other 85 percent of TCO is tied up in hidden costs like labor, freight, inventory-carrying costs, error-related costs, safety stock, and so on. We reduce our customer’s costs in all of these areas including the piece price,” said Don Nowak, president and owner of Falcon Fastening Solutions.
For 2015, Falcon reports an average customer savings of 2.5 percent on labor-related costs such as purchasing, receiving/stocking, accounting, inspection and quality control activities, etc. Freight savings were an additional 2.9 percent average savings. Error-related costs, such as down time, poor quality, expedites and item obsolescence accounted for another 3.5 percent of the average customer savings. Inventory carrying cost savings were the largest portion of savings at 4.4 percent and the piece price savings added another 1.1 percent to the average total cost savings for customers in 2015.
In addition to these savings, Falcon carries a safety stock of 3 months of inventory on hand in their local warehouse and another 7.2 months of inventory on order for customers taking advantage of their Reliable Stock™ vendor managed inventory programs. Falcon also reports a quality rating of 99.9 percent and an on-time delivery rate of 99.3 percent for their customers in 2015.
