Businesses across various industries continue to struggle with supply chain and labor shortage disruptions, long after the pandemic has ended. It’s a problem that doesn’t seem to go away. However, at Ferriot Inc, we are proud to share our experience in overcoming these hurdles, ensuring we remain well-equipped to serve our valued customers with efficiency and reliability.
Spare Parts
The global supply chain disruptions have resulted in a scarcity of spare parts for many manufacturers, causing delays in production and hindering the ability to meet customer demands. Additionally, the shortage of skilled labor poses significant obstacles for companies that need to maintain seamless operations and uphold product quality.
Amid the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, one notable setback specific to the plastics industry was the delay in resin supply, which subsequently impacted timelines. However, that situation is steadily improving as resin production resumes normal levels.
Another significant concern has been the scarcity of spare parts – a predicament that persisted even during the pandemic’s peak. While these components were once readily stocked in North America, depleting supplies coupled with supply chain constraints in Europe and Asia led to a shortage. Responding proactively, we’ve taken a unique step to safeguard operational continuity. We’ve significantly bolstered our critical spare parts inventory, amounting to a six-figure investment. This strategic move aims to transform machine breakdowns from potential crises into manageable situations, mitigating downtime.
While we may not possess sufficient stock to reconstruct an entire machine, our focus lies in meticulously assessing historical part failures and reinforcing our reserves of these essential components. Through these measures, we are reaffirming our commitment to maintaining operational resilience and elevating our service quality. This strategic preparedness ensures minimal downtime for our clients, thereby fostering a strong and lasting partnership.
