Individual Supply Strategies

With the right supply strategy, you're on the safe side

Long, unplanned breakdowns are what manufacturing companies fear the most. High failure rates and the resulting costs are the consequences. The difficult task of avoiding such situations often falls to the maintenance departments, which typically have limited resources, time, and means to handle these challenges successfully under optimal conditions. But where do the specific problems lie that still lead to prolonged downtimes? Is it due to missing or incorrectly planned inventory, sourcing obsolete or temporarily obsolete spare parts through manufacturers, machine builders, and service providers, or perhaps the insufficient budget for stocking and maintaining spare parts? Unfortunately, it is the combination of all these and many other hurdles that make maintenance so complex today.

This is why EICHLER GmbH focuses on process-oriented, customised supply strategies that can be flexibly integrated into nearly any company to gradually address individual problems and thereby support your maintenance department with targeted actions. To ensure quick response times in your production, the solution often lies in a supply strategy mix—combining efficient inventory management with proactive preventive measures and professional repairs. Within these supply strategy combinations, there are additional tasks that might be difficult to manage independently. For example, creating ideal storage conditions is not always easy, and in some cases, it may seem nearly impossible to implement. When it comes to long-term storage of electronic units, the key is finding the right mix in inventory management to meet the specific requirements of individual components. For example, from a purely physical standpoint, some materials within electronic components should ideally be stored under high humidity, while others are best kept in a vacuum.
