Materials Profit Solution™

The Materials Profit Solution™ helps you increase your profits by improving the management of your materials and processes. Created by Baldwin Supply Company, The Materials Profit Solution™ will help you earn more money, satisfy your customers' needs, attract new customers and grow your business.

"Most successful OEMs have achieved tremendous growth, however they may not be getting maximum value from their supply chain." says Ron Herem. "They may be losing money by carrying excessive inventory, focusing too much on price and buying supplies like commodities, or having problems with quality and delivery. Purchasing and supply systems may be slow to react to new marketing opportunities, trading flexibility and speed for short term cost savings can also be issues. That is why we created The Materials Profit Solution™ : to help you increase your profits by improving the management of your materials and processes."

The Materials Profit Solution™ is a twelve-step process divided into three distinct stages:
STAGE 1 : We help you assess your current situation and set goals.
STAGE 2 : Work together to develop strategies and a Materials Profit Plan™
STAGE 3 : We help you develop a Materials Profit Team™ and implement your plan.

"We have developed this process by working with scores of OEMs during the past 25 years, " Jim O'Connor says. " We help them understand their current situation - both their strengths and their weaknesses - and create a powerful vision for their future. Then we look at the obstacles standing in their way, develop strategies to overcome them, and review all of the tools to help them achieve their vision."

To help you get started with our process, select customers can participate one-on-one in The Materials Profit Workshop™ . During the session, you work with us through the first few steps of our process. When you have completed the session, you will be ready to participate in The Materials Profit Program™ , designed to help you develop and implement your Materials Profit Plan™ . You can also take advantage of The Materials Profit Toolbox ™ , our full suite of tools and capabilities.

When you have completed the process, you will have reduced your inventories. You will have products on time when you need them. The quality of your parts and your products will be higher. You will have products which are even more innovative, creative, and up-to-date. Your purchasing procedures will be more streamlined. You will be saving money on your operations. And most importantly, you will have increased your profits by improving the management of your materials and processes.

"At Midwest Automation our history has been to buy at the lowest price, not necessarily at the best value. We saw that we needed to change and felt that doing so would reduce our bottom line costs. We created a list of qualifying standards that Baldwin has not only met, but surpassed. They inadvertently rewrote the standards that other vendors will now have to meet.”

“Baldwin has proven that suppliers are as important as customers. They don’t let us get into a situation where a crisis can develop.”

“At Precision Auto our goals were simple; reduce the number/types of motors we stocked, reduce our acquisition and carrying costs, and improve on stock outages. With the program set up by Baldwin, we not only met our goals, we didn’t miss a beat as a result of our recent move from one area of the country to another.”
