The challenges in the supply chain

Projects in sectors such as offshore, infrastructure and mechanical engineering present logistical challenges:

 

• Tight deadlines that leave no room for delivery errors.
• Large volumes of fasteners that must be available exactly on time.
• Complex certifications and traceability, which must be transparently documented.
• Risks of downtime when materials are not delivered on time.

 

So smart logistics is not only convenient, but crucial to success.

 

Archey's smart logistics solutions

Archey deploys various solutions to unburden chain partners:

• Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI): Archey manages inventory at customer sites so that shortages never occur.
• Just-in-time delivery: fasteners arrive exactly when they are needed, saving storage space and costs.
• Digital links with ERP systems: real-time visibility into inventory, orders and deliveries.
• Traceability and documentation: all certificates and product information are readily available.
• Lean logistics and 5S principles: less waste, more efficiency in the process.

 

• Maintenance of heavy vehicles
  When maintaining trucks, cranes and other heavy equipment, industrial-quality tools are indispensable. A logistics provider regularly struggled with downtime due to worn standard bits and caps, causing downtime and inefficient work. Archey supplied durable Momento power caps and Apex bits on a contract basis, tailored to the rhythm of use of the workshops. This ensured continuously available tools with a longer service life, fewer replacement times and higher productivity in the maintenance teams.

 

• Power plant renovation
  During a planned maintenance shutdown, large quantities of nuts and bolts were requested in a short period of time. Archey carefully matched deliveries to the maintenance schedule and ensured that materials arrived in phases and at the right time. This prevented downtime and helped the customer significantly shorten the maintenance period.
