CASE STUDY A: UK MoD (NPPO) and Industrial Fasteners PLC (INFAST)

 

Customer UK MoD (NPPO) and Industrial Fasteners PLC (INFAST). Contact through usual MoD channels. INFAST.
Reason for Change The MoD wanted to expand and aggregate demand accross the Army, Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force (RAF). Following the RAF Model of exact requirements delivered direct to bases for General Engineering Hardware (GEH). The idea was to appont private companies who would then “partner” with the supply chain to reduce costs and lead-time.

The NPPO included aerospace items into the general contracts which has caused several Quality issues and lack of expertise in running these contracts. INFAST who won the second GEH contract partnered with STAG to handle the aerospace aspect of the requirements. And thus avoided these problems. It should be noted that two previous contracts for aircraft metal and packaging were taken on by a large logistics company in the automotive sector which were returned to MoD by them as they were unable to satisfactorily handle the aerospace requirements.
Scope 12000 Active aerospace parts numbers initially tendered. To increase as demand dictates.
Value £3 Million per annum over five year period, with two year extensions. Making a total of seven years.
Result STAG applied its procurement procedures to establish a dedicated supply chain for the contracts. Suppliers were involved in the planning of future requirements based upon information supplied by NPPO/INFAST and history held by STAG itself.

IT Interface was developed between STAG and INFAST which resulted in automatic checking and verificationand loading of requirements onto the company computer system. Direct delivery of parts to bases maintained and full electronic invoicing covering the 30,000+ lines being handled annually.
Cost Benefits INFAST apply STAG low cost base to its own resulting in better pricing for ultimate customer. Lead times reduced. Wastage reduced as each MU can order the exact number of items in pre-packed quantities without minimum order restrictions. Buffer stocks held down the supply chain in case of surge demands. Suppliers appreciating better visibility of requirements for production planning
Note Please note that STAG has also entered into a similar arrangement with RAC/Lex Multipart for part 1 of the GEH contracts this is run exactly as above with the exception that the computer interfaces are different. This contract covers 4000+ lines valued at £500k per annum.
