Falcon Metal to be featured on 21st Century Business Television July 28, 2011

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 28, 2011 ) Boca Raton, FL -- Most Original Equipment Manufacturers or OEMÂ’s face challenges when attempting to manage components crucial for a successful production process. Falcon Metal is focused on providing Inventory Management Solutions for Â“Class CÂ” production components that increase productivity, lower risk, and reduce Total Procurement Cost (TPC).

This is achieved through cost-effective managed inventory programs, including Bin Management, Bin Stocking, Inventory Control Management Services, Supply Chain Management Services, Lean Initiatives, and Third Party Logistic Services. Falcon MetalÂ’s solutions include both Vendor Managed Inventory (known as VMI) & Customer Managed Inventory (CMI) programs. Falcon MetalÂ’s staff has experience with a wide variety of OEM industries.

What are Class Â“CÂ” production components? These are the items that are the reverse of the 80/20 ruleÂ—the large number of low value items that are required to produce the end product. Studies have shown that production downtime is primarily due to lack of an inexpensive component.

All costs, whether sourcing, paperwork, storage space cost, or taxes and insurance should be considered to ensure the cost effective decisions is being made. Direct acquisition cost (price) is the most visible element of OEM purchasing cost. Too often it is the only consideration. There are a number of other elements of TPC which can have a major impact on product acquisition including all the activities required to insure production plans are achieved.
JL Haber, Vice President of Programming at Multi Media Productions, added, Â“Falcon Metal Corporation is certainly responding to a major need in most industries today. We are excited to have them as a guest on our program.Â”
