Steelmaker works in partnership with RS Local to reduce the cost of MRO purchases

Public sector procurement is governed by strict legalisation, compliance, and an overarching need to source products and services that represent the best value for money whilst maintaining reliability.

As one of the largest providers of industrial supplies, RS Components is in a unique position to understand the needs of its customers, help them improve their processes and make efficiencies.

Procurement teams and engineers face several challenges regarding the maintenance, repair and operation of their organisation’s assets and facilities. The supply chain for indirect materials is complex due to the number of stakeholders involved, a fragmented supply base and the number of products that are split across categories. In addition, there is constant pressure from senior management to reduce costs.

RS Component’s kitting service has enabled a power company to complete a significant maintenance project on time and on budget

The UK arm of this diagnostic imaging and healthcare equipment business is looked after by around 250 field engineers. While a manufacturing plant is likely to have its own dedicated stores area and personnel, field engineers have no central facility to rely on.

Having the right parts - on time and in full - to maintain assets and keep lines running is critical not only to the productivity of the plant, but the viability of the overall business.
