Service/Aftermarket Parts
Simplify the dynamics of improving service.
Manufacturers rely on their service and aftermarket parts business to deliver 20-30% of their total revenues and nearly 40% of profits – some estimates go even higher. Spare parts, returns, repair items and products for Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) can provide a stable cash flow. Yet the supply chains for these items are notoriously hard to manage. With thousands of SKUs and an ever changing mix, demand can seem impossible for the demanding customer who needs immediate product availability. Nimble responsiveness is critical, whether you’re distributing products through global multi-tier channels or selling direct. Global competition forces the need to continually reduce production costs. Some customers are requiring Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) or other value-added service programs. Supply chains need to achieve maximum efficiency to attain a loyal customer base.
