Prior to my Joining to Jindal Steelway has out sourced it all Packing operation to “ITW LTD” , &
“ITW” was charging 30 to 50% higher rates from the Market in the name of one stop source for all
our packaging needs. I just break that myth & developed an parallel line of vendors and gradually
took everything in our hand , it has benefited us like anything as being an service center for us we
saved approx 30% and now steelway is working on 100% self sustaining model.
By starting Packing activity we reduced our overall packaging cost by 30%.
By better negotiations we forced all our suppliers to hold our stock We don’t hold material more
than seven days consumption , rest of the part has to be with vendor this has reduced our our
Inventory holding cost by 50%.
Earlier there was not clear standard about the quality of material, I started forcing user department
to give clear indication in your requirement, so that supplier can understand and supply us
3. according. This has reduced supplier rejection ratio by 40% automatically the confidence and break
down time because of inward supply chain is now Nil.
