With the customers input and involvement we work to:

• Reduce spare parts inventory
• Reduce production downtime caused by
  lack of on-site spares
• Reduce redundant parts
• Lower product, labor & overhead, based
  on Cadillac's involvement

This will be accomplished through:

• Customized inventory suited to your needs
• Organized inventory, barcoded & labeled
• Regular replenishment: no stock-outs
• Product standardization, reducing duplicates
• Cross referencing & product identification
• On-site quoting & order entry

How It Works:

1. Cadillac Electric performs an audit of your plants existing maintenance and repair inventory. With your cooperation this may also include machine and electrical panel audits, assuring that the fuses, sensors, and industrial controls carried in stock correspond to what is in use on the plant floor.
   
   
2. Following the audits a database will be compiled and presented to you. This spares database will include the inventory levels at the time of the stock room audit as well as suggested min/max levels for all audited items. Duplicate items from multiple brands will be highlighted and cross-referenced. Your participation in deciding what items will be included in the program and adjusting the min/max levels will be required.
   
   
3. Once this database is reviewed and any adjustments made, Cadillac will develop a savings estimate based upon a reduction in duplicates, reduced downtime estimates, labor savings from the set-up and ongoing maintenance of the inventory by Cadillac, reduced administration costs, and procurement cost savings.
   
   
4. You will be presented with a documents package including the savings estimate, a printout of the spares database with min/max levels, cross-references, a list of additional stock required to bring levels up to minimum, as well as a proposed replenishment schedule. Any last minute changes in the program can be made at this time.
   
   
5. Following placement of an initial order, the next step will include organizing the stock room and barcode labeling the parts with SKU, description, manufacturer, and min/max levels. At this time, any additional cabinets and bins (if required) will be delivered, labeled and set up.
   
   
6. Regular visits, typically monthly, from a Cadillac representative will follow. During each visit our representative will review the stock, scan those items which are below minimum levels, and submit a quote. You can then make any necessary adjustments, and add a P.O. number and signature to place the order.
