Servispart Consulting

Servispart Consulting's Fast & Lean Parts Machine Programme comproses a suite of diagnostic, modelling, planning and improvement features to help manufacturer’s aftermarket businesses to speed up, slim down and increase the agility of their end-to-end supply chains.

You can’t operate an effective manufacturing business and optimise its profits and cash flow without a fast and lean parts supply chain. After all, your end-to-end supply chain feeds parts and materials from your suppliers into your operation, through your operation and out the front door to your customers. It is the backbone of your manufacturing and aftermarket service business.

• Rising logistics costs and premium shipping costs.
• Increasing parts inventory and falling stock turns.
• Extended delivery times and growing customer arrears/backorders.
• Extended supplier lead times and ballooning supplier arrears.
• Supply chain bottlenecks and slow material flow.

Any one of these symptoms is bad enough by itself. Unfortunately, they tend to happen in combination, hence the dire consequences if neglected and left alone to fester. Don't let that happen to your aftermarket parts business. Contact us today.

Servispart Consulting's Inventory Optimiser Programme helps aftermarket parts businesses to eliminate their bad inventory habits, convert their excess and obsolete inventory into positive cash flow and recover operational availability performance rapidly.

Inventory is at the heart of every successful aftermarket parts and service business and if your business is carrying too much inventory, then this is not the kind of problem that happens overnight. If it did, it’s highly likely that you’d know what caused it and could therefore eliminate it just as quickly. So if you’re struggling to understand what is causing your inventory problems and/or struggling to reduce it fast enough, the chances are that it is caused by a combination of factors and that you have a number of related symptoms too.

• Too much excess and obsolete stock.
• Dwindling storage capacity, lack of floor space and material left out in the yard.
• Rapid business growth and poor inventory control.
• Poor parts availability and high customer backorders.
• Slow inventory turns and constipated cash flow.

And without cash flow, the lifeblood of your business…well, you know what happens to your business next! Even if your business is not in intensive care yet, it’s best to eliminate your bad business habits before it gets to that stage.

Servispart Consulting's Service Profit Accelerator Programme will help you grow your manufacturing services business faster, leapfrog your low-cost competitors and retain your customers for life.

If you’re a manufacturing business and you don’t think services are as sexy or exciting as your products then you might just change your mind about that in the next few seconds. It’s a fact that today’s customers don’t want to buy and own your engineered products any more. Don’t get me wrong – they like your products. It’s just that: they don’t want to own them or maintain them or buy spare parts for them or insure them or have the bother of selling them when they want to access the latest technology. And they especially don’t like financing the upfront capital purchase of your products or the expensive lumpy maintenance bills or the surprise repair costs or the ever-growing insurance premiums. Quite frankly, owning your product is like having a chronic pain in their proverbial!

• Their service revenues and profits are accelerating.
• They are out-competing their peers.
• Their customers are staying with them for longer.
• They enjoy longer-term, stable and predictable cash flows.
• And their equity to earnings multiple has risen as a result.
