Case Studies

In May of 2006, we began a vendor managed inventory program with Falcon Metal Corporation. We began with 13 items, but have added over 261 items to date. They have helped reduce our inventory investment while saving our materials group countless time since its inception. In addition to the production material savings they offered, we also are saving on incoming freight costs thru this program. They have helped consolidate purchases from several vendors and have done an outstanding job with exceptional response times. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to reduce the total costs of doing business, while working with a fine, outstanding group of professionals!

As a 12 year customer of Falcon Metal, we have found them to be one of our top performing suppliers. Their “Just in Time” deliveries have gotten Seisco out of many predicaments over the years. Their performance has constantly been outstanding and it is a real pleasure doing business with them.

Falcon’s inventory management program has allowed us to reduce our fastener inventory by over 50 percent. They come to our plant every two weeks to scan our stock of the parts we buy from them and replenish as needed in previously agreed upon quantities. In addition, being in constant communication regarding our production levels here, Falcon has done a wonderful job of maintaining sufficient stock of our parts in Charlotte ready for delivery at a moment’s notice should we require it.

Falcon currently manages 214 Class “C” production components onsite at our facility. They have a full time person onsite dedicated to meeting our daily product needs.  Falcon  has relieved our staff from the day-to-day sourcing and expediting of Class “C” components so we can focus on better managing the high $ items.  This program has been in place for 7+ years and has reduced our overall acquisition cost for  these necessary but nuisance parts.  We   continue to expand the program on an annual basis.

Itron, Inc.

By implementing the Falcon Bar Code Inventory System (FBIS) at our facility, we have substantially reduced our inventory without any negative impact on production. Falcon has assigned a full time person onsite to provide us daily replenishment of 690 parts at over 800 point of use locations in our plant. Falcon has replaced 55 suppliers of Class “C” production components. Implementation of FBIS has provided our purchasing staff the ability to focus on higher priority issues.
