Maximize Savings with our In-Plant Store® Program |
| It’s a fact: When you outsource the management of your entire MRO supply chain to SDI, you achieve the most dramatic results, and the most impressive cost savings. Our proven In-Plant Store® program has helped companies save as much as ten million dollars in the first year alone. And a healthier bottom line is just one of the many benefits of a 100% outsourced SDI program. |

|
The power of the program lies in its ability to help you cut costs up and down your MRO supply chain. We help you streamline every link, from sourcing, procurement, and receiving to accounting and internal distribution. How do we do this? By following our four-phase method:
|
|
| SDI sends a team of experts to your facility to do an in-depth analysis, reviewing your current processes, data files, technology, inventory levels, accounting history, staff responsibilities, materials usage patterns, and more. We pick apart your MRO supply chain one link at a time to determine your problem areas — obsolete supplies, overstocked items, shelf disorganization — and uncover opportunities for savings. |
Phase Two: Solution Presentation |
| Your SDI team next compiles a complete written analysis of the site survey findings, and presents them to you and your management staff. At this time, we also present a custom-crafted solution based on those findings for optimizing your supply chain management system. It’s a complete plan that includes data cleansing and standardization, item cataloging, advanced Web-enabled technology, efficient transaction processing, storeroom reorganization, and best-price, best-quality product recommendations. Your plan is designed to help you move MRO materials from beginning to end most efficiently. |
Phase Three: Implementation |
| An experienced SDI field support team will then implement your new In-Plant Store® program. This is typically a multi-step process that involves everything from reorganizing your storeroom layout to cataloging supply data and building your custom catalog to integrating any new technologies. Your solution is just that — yours. We implement the appropriate technology — including custom interfaces with your enterprise software if desired — set up storeroom shelves, and optimize operating procedures, drilling down to the real issues that affect your business. |
Phase Four: On-Site Management |
|
To help manage your new In-Plant Store, SDI experts stay on site at your facility. Depending on your needs, we provide anywhere from one to more than 50 SDI experts on site. Maximum cost savings are achieved when SDI delivers the right technology, processes, and people to manage your new system and ensure continuous improvements.
