Focusing on the Voice of the Customer and their needs, NSC delivers comprehensive procurement and material management solutions for Original Equipment and Contract Manufacturers, Repair Facilities and Testing Houses. Direct Buy CommoditiesOur procurement strategy includes working with our Customers to reduce and manage their Vendor base for direct buy and other items at an agreed upon fixed mark up. Instead of adding additional Vendors our Customers use NSC to procure their direct buy commodities thereby reducing the cost associated with managing more Vendors. You tell us where to go and we will get it! Testing and Value Added ServicesNSC performs various In House Testing to ensure and validate that material supplied is IAW Manufacturer specifications. We also use various NSC approved and Customer recommended Testing Houses to perform Electrical and Additional Testing whenever applicable. As a One Stop Shop, NSC will not only procure your material but we will also have it electrically tested based on your requirements. Utilization of this service has addressed many logistic issues that some Customers faced when receiving materials that needed further testing. In addition to providing this service for the material that we procure, we will also provide this service for any material that you may supply. Fixed Pricing and Long Term AgreementsNSC understands that all Customers want the best value for their dollars, because of this we are always willing to help our Customers by entering into fixed pricing or long term agreement for the materials that we currently supply. We can even merge an inspection and test plan for the various commodities to ensure that an emphasis on price doesn’t sacrifice quality. Once reached, any agreement will obviously include and allow our Customer to audit our procurement records to ensure compliance and increase confidence. Scheduled OrdersScheduled orders allow Customers to have their products automatically reordered and shipped on a specific date or on a fixed frequency. It takes the hassle out of constantly processing multiple purchase orders for the same items month after month. In addition, it allows immediate expediting or delaying of material whenever needed. This arrangement can improve Customer supply chain performance by reducing inventories and preventing lost or low stock situations. We can also merge this program with a fixed pricing agreement to ensure that costs remain fixed and materials are always readily available. |
