“It’s vital to have suppliers who have as wide a range of stock as possible”. Greg Sharp, Industry Sector Manager, RS
“With unplanned maintenance, it’s vital to have suppliers who have as wide a range of stock as possible and who can deliver quickly since the longer equipment is out of action, the greater costs the company may incur,” says Sharp. “At RS, we have a comprehensive range of stock and work with our customers to deliver critical parts as quickly as possible.”
“Many companies hold huge amounts of parts internally that they distribute themselves,” he adds. “In some cases, this is correct as they have critical parts on hand, but often, a large supplier such as RS can get these parts out next day, which is quicker than internal distribution. By doing this the organisation also saves money on storing parts they are not using.”
