Castalloy's customer partner's program focuses on close cooperation during the design process, wider profit margins, shared cost savings and priority shipments

Every step in our relationship is supported by ERP procedures linked to your control systems such as MRP, ERP, KANBAN or FORECAST

The major benefits of the customer partners' plan include...

Enterprise Resource Planning is a vital part of the program

During NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT our project teams share up-front information to reach common understanding of your design objectives.  We help you accelerate development, increase productivity and reduce costs at the beginning of the program, and develop continuing process improvements throughout the life of the product.

ONE-TIME PROJECTS receive the same attention as longer, on-going business operations, and achieve similar financial results.

A SMALLER ENTERPRISE can share all the benefits of world class partners because it shares the in-house talents of the same CASTALLOY team.

We INTEGRATE OUR MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS WITH YOUR CONTROL SYSTEMS ensuring the right size inventory for both of us.

From a practical standpoint, we recommend a minimum 3-year partnership arrangement to maximize productivity and cost savings.

To ensure your complete satisfaction with our investment cast components and assemblies, we use all the latest Y2K compliance updates in the Enterprise Resource Planning.

From design through processing, finishing operations and on-time delivery every operation benefits from ERP procedures... surveillance, evaluation and control.

Don't confuse ERP with MRP.  ERP goes far beyond MRP.  It is a logical state-of-the-art system to organize and control all aspects of manufacturing your components and sub-assemblies.  It combines accurate information about our ability to produce what you need when you need it.  It highlights and tracks the availability of qualified associates, financial resources, production equipment, approved tooling and materials in accordance with ISO 9000.

ERP is also a feedback system which is able to detect any disruptions before they occur.  It permits seamless integration of information between all departments to initiate corrective action and avoid costly delays.
