SPP offers a wide range of manufacturing logistics services including:

Sub-assembly and kitting - Manage and build sub-assemblies and kits to optimize material handling and floor space usage. Completed subassemblies and kits can be sequenced and delivered just-in-time to the appropriate location within your production facility.

Sequencing - Ability to stage and deliver just-in-time parts or materials in the exact build sequence needed for production. Our experience has allowed us to develop systems that ensure 100% on-time delivery. Sequencing allows manufacturing facilities to reduce materials handling, floor space usage, and inventory levels while increasing flexibility and capacity.

Line-side delivery - Manage just-in-time sequenced delivery of parts to specific points within your production facility to decrease on-site inventory, reduce materials handling, and improve lean manufacturing capabilities.

Postponement - Delays the final assembly of a product until it is needed by the customer. This dynamic supply chain strategy reduces inventory and improves available production capacity.

Just-in-time inventory management - Strategy that increases efficiency, quality, and return on investment by reducing inventory and working capital levels. Guided by the principle that inventory is waste, our experienced team can help develop a comprehensive just-in-time inventory management system to improve production efficiency and improve cash flow.

Purchasing, deliveries, and expediting - Comprehensive procurement services based on production schedules and lean practices. Additionally, we provide customers with real-time delivery updates for products in the supply chain.

Lean logistics - Leverage our extensive lean manufacturing experience to develop a lean logistics solution designed to decrease waste while increasing the speed and flow of the supply chain. Lean logistics is a core component of lean manufacturing and our team can identify waste and bottlenecks while also helping reduce unnecessary inventories.

Inspection/ Quality Control - Providing our clients with error free items that are correctly sequenced and 100% on time is the core focus of our assembly business, and we are able to leverage our extensive experience and capabilities to develop comprehensive inspection and quality control systems for our clients.

Material management - Lean inventory management and just-in-time sequenced deliveries reduce material handling and storage space allowing your employees to focus on value-added tasks. The result is lower costs, increased efficiencies, and improved manufacturing capacity.

Our manufacturing logistics capabilities offer a variety of advantages including:

Decreased unit costs - Our logistics services enhance lean manufacturing capabilities and reduce unit costs.

Decreased working capital - Our just-in-time manufacturing and logistics capabilities allow your firm to decrease inventory, increase cash, and save money on short-term financing.

Reduced Labor Costs - Our just-in-time manufacturing and logistics capabilities reduce wasted labor in areas such as materials handling.

Reduced materials handling - Just-in-time delivery is part of a kanban or pull manufacturing system that reduces materials handling and allows your employees to focus on value-added activities.

Improve flow - We can help eliminate mura or unevenness in your system through sequencing and just-in-time delivery.

Interface with multiple sub-suppliers - We can handle all interactions with suppliers allowing you to focus on your core business.

Core competencies - Our core competencies are assembly, manufacturing, and logistics.

Reduce CAPEX - Our logistics services, such as sequenced just-in-time delivery, can reduce the need for CAPEX by freeing up space previously used for storing inventory.
