Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) substantially influences buying decisions for many companies and helps negotiations from both the client and supplier perspectives. It allows corporations to think about elements outside of the direct cost(s) when identifying whether to pursue a specific course of action.

Fundamentally, TCO is a financial assessment process that estimates all the costs associated with a decision. Procurement costs are covered alongside each direct and indirect charge in the decision cycle: trade working capital (TWC), labor productivity, cost of quality, supplier rationalization and more. When you calculate TCO, you select your known cost-drivers and hidden fees to fully understand your desired impact.

By measuring the true costs of your supply chain, TCO allows you to make better business decisions. This will help you better understand the impact of implementing a system on the cost structure of your business. TCO provides a financial framework to effectively analyze your supply chain. It makes it possible to better compare the solutions presented by different suppliers by showing a much more realistic view of all the costs.

Manufacturing Uptime Opportunities

By developing a comprehensive vendor managed inventory program or production kitting program, our customers no longer need to receive, store, and repackage products to get them in the hands of the operators on the production line. We deliver products where and when our customers need them in their manufacturing plants allowing them to focus on their core competency of manufacturing and assembly.

 

Procurement costs for C-Parts are very high and require thousands of transactions.  Our customer turn the C-Parts over to us because we have built a system to manage products with low spend and high transactions. We take on the burden of purchase order management, inventory planning and three-way matching by implementing a comprehensive vendor managed program.

We are also able to reduce premium freight transactions by building dedicated inventory and managing the thousand transactions in the complex supply chain.

Companies are always looking for ways to preserve cash, reduce inventories and better manage receivable and payables. We build programs to stock customer specific products based on their bill of material consumption needs.
