Strategic Parts Inventory
Strategic Parts Inventory
Whether you're supporting ongoing production, managing forecasted demand, or protecting against supply chain disruptions, Strategic Parts Inventory (SPI) gives you the flexibility to release inventory as needed—without waiting for a new production run.
Instead of placing multiple small orders throughout the year, Milwaukee ForgeTech manufactures a larger production run and stores the remaining inventory for future release. This approach reduces unit costs while ensuring the forged components you need are available when your production schedule requires them.
Lower Production Costs
Strategic Parts Inventory allows manufacturers to take advantage of the cost savings associated with larger planned production runs without assuming the burden of storing additional inventory.
With Strategic Parts Inventory, you can:
Minimize setup costs associated with frequent small production runs
Lock in material pricing for alloy steels such as 4140, 8620, and 9310
Inventory Ready When You Need It
Traditional custom forgings typically require production lead time before shipment. Strategic Parts Inventory eliminates that delay by maintaining your finished inventory at Milwaukee ForgeTech.
Once your components have been manufactured and placed into inventory, they're ready for release whenever you need them.
Benefits include:
Finished inventory ready for immediate release
Greater flexibility when production schedules change
Safety stock for unexpected increases in demand
Reduced production downtime caused by supply chain disruptions
Your inventory is already produced, inspected, and ready to ship.
Secure Inventory Management
Heavy steel forgings require storage space, specialized handling, and accurate inventory control.
Milwaukee ForgeTech manages your inventory in our Bay View facility, protecting your components while keeping them organized and ready for shipment.
Our inventory management includes:
Secure storage of finished forged components
Protection against rust and handling damage
Accurate inventory tracking
Inventory managed through our ISO 9001 Quality Management System
