Finding Cost Savings through Standardization
Step 1: Understand We first gain an understanding of your business and application needs. It is important to understand what products are being used and why. We work with the end user to understand possible workplace hazards and the features and benefits of the product being used. Step 2: Analyze and Identify We analyze that data we have gathered out in the field. We evaluate the product specs to determine product similarities. Once product similarities are identified, we determine if product consolidation is possible based on the feedback provided by the end users. Step 3: Discuss Throughout the PPE standardization effort Quest works closely with global and site HSE representatives as well as procurement leads. Once the data is collected and analyzed, consolidation and cost information is presented to key project stakeholders. Step 4: Leverage Consolidated usage data is compiled once product standardization is approved. The increased volume is used to negotiate a deeper discount with key manufacturers. Findings are shared with key decision makers. Step 5: Stock and Supply After product SKUs standardized and pricing lowered, Quest works with each site to determine usage levels to avoid stock outages. We create minimum and maximum levels of products to be warehoused at Quest allowing our customer just in time delivery.
