While they may not be as
technically complicated as other
mechanical components, fasteners
play a vital part in every production
line in the world.
We have analysts and logistical experts
who specialise in Just-In-Time delivery and
forecasting demand to provide customers
with a proactive and productive supply
chain. We supply over 9 billion fasteners,
and other components, from
diverse categories across
250,000+ SKUs.
This service level is only possible because
of the unique foundations our business is
built on. We have analysts and logistical
experts who specialize in Just-In-Time
delivery and forecasting demand; we have
design engineers with years of experience
in industries as diverse as heavy duty
truck (HDV), automotive, agricultural and
power generation; we hold regionally
based ISO registered and VDA 6.2 certified
quality centers; we even offer in-house
manufacturing capabilities in both the
US and Europe. In short, we’ve invested
in developing the expertise required
to introduce efficient change without
interruption. The reduced unit cost from larger bulk
orders led to immediate savings, while the
fastener design sped up the production
line to improve overall efficiency. customers into a one-size-fits-all service.
The reality is that we are a service provider;
we work with all sizes of business across
all industries, and our capabilities extend
way beyond logistics and the supply
of standard parts. Our service set-up is
designed to align our capabilities with the
needs of our partners and our ongoing
analysis ensures that we are able to offer
suggestions for continuous improvements
over the years as our relationship develops.
As for capacity, we have over 1,600 highly
trained team members in more than 60
locations around the world. This means
we are able to supply in excess of 9 billion
fasteners, and other components, from
diverse categories across 140,000 SKUs. We can even help to re-design a
customer’s manufacturing line with
production best practices. For one global
construction machinery manufacturer
we optimized two production lines at
their 1,250,000 square foot facility. Our
engineers analyzed the production
objectives and began the discovery
process by qualifying data and preparing
for the installation of much-needed
logistical hardware. As a result of the
project the facility improved its production
efficiency by 15%.
Reaping the benefits
We’ve a proven track record of success
across the industries we work in. In fact,
the benefits of embarking on a partnership
with Optimas are easily measurable and
extend beyond the obvious advantage
of eliminating downtime from your
production schedule due to stock
shortages.
Because our abilities extend well
beyond logistics and into design and
manufacturing, we can help to improve
your product at the drawing board. Our
engineers can inspect and analyze every
fastener to see where standardization
or engineered designs could lead to
improvement. A recent example saw the
number of different fastener types fall
