Managing Your Purchase Parts Catalog
January 2010
New toolkit’s are now available from SerCom that allow the management of purchase parts catalog’s and manage new purchase parts introduction.
For companies with large global purchase parts needs it can often be difficult to manage the catalog and difficult to stem its growth. Exponential growth, part duplication and unconsolidated spend are commonplace.
SerCom’s catalog tool allows online maintenance of all purchase parts, with technical specifications, work instructions and compliance detail as well as price, lead-time and other planning parameters. Available over the internet all regions of the customer organisation can have access and view and order purchase parts online.
SerCom also provides options on the tools to request new parts, and provide NPI (new part introduction) co- ordination staff to point out existing parts that may be suitable, point out alternatives or suggest sourcing options, ensuring the proper management of catalog growth.
Our team also closes the loop on purchased parts management by using the customer spend data gathered week-to-week to drive spend optimization projects in a controlled way.
