CASE STUDY
Optimizing Mechanical Component Sourcing for a Global Manufacturer
Situation
A global manufacturer of industrial machinery faced escalating costs and frequent delays sourcing precision parts from multiple foreign vendors. Their production line risked shutdown each time a component shipment was delayed or arrived defective.
Task
The company needed to reduce supply chain complexity and ensure reliable deliveries. They wanted a partner capable of consolidating suppliers, performing technical audits, and offering an all-in-one solution that simplified compliance checks for each critical component.
Action
Aucreta tapped into its network of verified mechanical and electrical component suppliers across Asia. We initiated thorough due diligence on each potential supplier—analyzing financial stability, production capacity, and ISO certifications. Our negotiations secured volume-based discounts, and we optimized logistics routes for just-in-time deliveries using a combination of Coupa Spend Management and custom cost modeling.
Result
With a streamlined supplier pool and predictable lead times, the manufacturer saw a 25% cut in procurement costs and virtually eliminated production delays. Quality issues declined by 50%, helping them maintain a steady output and meet client deadlines ahead of schedule. Aucreta’s holistic management not only saved them money but also drove operational efficiency.
