"Through-cost"
savings for our customers are an important part of our business.
Smiths carries all of the standard sizes, shapes and grades that
you’d expect us to but we also carry an extended range of
non-standard sizes, shapes and grades. This allows our customers
to make through-cost savings in the manner described
here.
Many of our customers have confirmed to us that this really
works and that by taking a wider view on the costs associated
with their raw materials they’ve saved thousands, or even
hundreds of thousands, of pounds.
Bear in mind following points:
-
Don’t compare prices per kg, compare prices
per length or by cut piece.
-
Look at what is being taken away from your
business as scrap
-
Poor grade selection can double the
production costs.
-
High production costs are often difficult to
identify but still reduce profit.
-
Raw material costs are often only a fraction
of total production costs.
