TCO Success Story

VNA is proud to share a TCO success story completed in the first quarter of 2006. Representatives from Rumsey Electric and Cooper Bussmann worked together at a major food-processing site to consolidate and standardize their fuse inventory. The distributor and manufacturer representatives audited and recorded every fuse in the plant stock room. From this effort, duplications, obsolete products and opportunities to upgrade the end-users inventory to the most current Bussmann product offering were identified. The end result reduced the inventory by 118 SKU's, a 47% reduction! This particular program reduced our customers annual supply chain transactional and carrying costs by more than $12000.00. Congratulations on a great job!
