Simplifying Supply Chain Management
Our Supply Chain Management Strategies Include:
- Kanban Methodologies — Based on Six Sigma and LEAN manufacturing methods, Kanban relies on visual aids to determine when to pull inventory to begin production. This ‘pull system’ eliminates waste and improves efficiency throughout operations.
- Documentation and Compliance — Paperless exchange of order documentation (EDI) provides real-time updates on inventory needs and identifies areas for improvement.
- Qualification Processes — A thorough examination is performed prior to creating a partnership with every new supplier.
- Modern Technology — We utilize supplier portal systems to streamline partner communications.
- Strategic Partnerships — Amerequip holds strategic partnerships with several key suppliers who have undergone our qualification process.
Integrated Supply Chain Management Workflows
Our vendor managed inventory solutions work seamlessly with our vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, ensuring products are built right the first time, every time. With our vendors directly managing all inventory, we’re completely focused on creating the custom equipment customers expect from Amerequip.
- Custom Configurations — Vendors provide the exact materials needed for an order, even for the most complex designs.
- Full-Service Vertical Integration — Coordination with our welding services, forming, painting, and assembly capabilities reduces downtime and maintains quality.
- Continuous Improvement — Dedicated improvement teams continuously refine processes to enhance efficiency.
- Extensive Documentation — Complete records and quality documentation provide full traceability.
Our team understands that timing is everything for custom equipment manufacturing. Amerequip employs the most up-to-date supply chain management practices, and our customers rely on us to communicate with our vendors to ensure projects can start and end on time.
