How kitting saves you money
| Are you repeatedly ordering the same supplies, that go into the same assembly, on individual P.O.'s? Then are you receiving, handling, tracking, and paying for them separately?
If so, Atlantic can save you considerable time and money.
We'll replace the many parts you manage with one - a kit.
Kitting helps you free-up manpower to focus on the services or products you provide. And it can lower your inventory! |
 |
| Fastener kitting, simple or complex, is our specialty. |
And if you're currently kitting yourself, here's what switching to Atlantic can eliminate:
- Arranging for outside help or using your own workers
- Worrying about running out of individual parts
- Receiving and inspecting, due to Atlantic's 99.97% accuracy
- Investing in safety stock
- Searching for parts and organizing them
- Dealing with secondary vendors like platers
|
If you answer "Yes" to any of the following questions, you could be a candidate. |
| Do you manufacture custom equipment?
Do you rebuild the same equipment periodically?
Do you have an active spare parts business?
Do you kit yourself now?
Are your customers reducing vendors and asking you to supply items you don't normally stock?
Are they demanding more value added services at the same, or lower, prices? |
Some of our kitting capabilities
Labeling
| If your fastener kits go directly to customers, we can print custom labels showing your logo and other important information. |
 |
|
| Need special information like bar codes, bill of material numbers and shelf locations on your kit labels? We can do it. |
 |
|
Including items other than fasteners
Do you need kits containing nonfastener items? We'll buy and stock them for you to include in your kits. |
 |
Special billing
Invoicing by kit project number is just one option.

Kitting case studies
How much can kitting save you?
Case study 1.
A Connecticut manufacturer of high-tech measuring equipment, that previously assembled its own kits, says it now saves $6.25 to $7.00/kit by having us do it. It attributes the savings to inventory and labor reductions.
Total savings last year alone equaled nearly $22,500! |
Case study 2.
By allowing Atlantic to handle its kitting, a Maine paper machinery rebuilder estimates it now saves $27,350 annually.
Here's how:
| Function |
Savings/yr. |
| Purchasing spends 20% less time processing fastener orders. |
$ 6,000 |
| Receiving, 33% less time. |
12,000 |
| The tool crib, which previously did the kitting, saves 5 hours per week. |
6,500 |
| Accounting now processes only one consolidated invoice per month vs. individual invoices before. Invoices also tally costs by project number, which accounting formerly did by hand. |
2,850 |
| Total |
$27,350 |
|
Case study 3.
A Massachusetts manufacturer of wastewater pumps reduced on-hand fastener inventories 75%, or $60,000, through a kitting program. |
|
If you're interested in kitting, here are some tips before getting started.
- Make sure you have accurate bills of materials
- Rid yourself of duplicate p/n's on your bills of materials or we'll have to consolidate them
- Decide how you want your kits packaged
- Heat sealed, stapled, or reclosable plastic bags
- Boxes, etc.
- Gather artwork if you want us to produce custom labels
