Service

Managed Stock Systems

In recent years industry has moved increasingly towards single sourcing of fastenings and small components through managed stock systems.
Francis Kirk & Son offer this service, where appropriate, which improves efficiencies and reduces administration costs. Customers are then able to concentrate more on other aspects of their business, forgetting the daily routine of buying low cost and time consuming items.

Various facilities are available from a simple one bin feed system through a two bin or sometimes three bin system supplied to stores on shop floor.

The reduction of supplier numbers and installation of a managed stock system cuts costs significantly by:-

• Reducing stock inventory, improving cash flow
• Reducing stock losses
• Eliminating order chasing/ progress calls
• Demand fluctuations managed by KIRK's.

After a review of your needs we would assess the most appropriate system and recommend either:-

1. Single Bin - Simple and effective, sited wherever most efficient. Monitoring at agreed intervals topped up to pre-set levels. Either customers bins or Kirk's bins supply would be utilised.

2. Two Bins - As 1. but each item is duplicated, bins being stored adjacent to or behind each other as one is emptied and awaiting refill the second is being used.

Monthly invoices are issued to cover any supplies, payment being received nett 30 days. A purchasing agreement for a minimum of 12 months is required, which would include provision for a notice period and customer responsibility for the stock of special items. We would be pleased to visit and discuss your requirements further.
