Right part at the right time!

I had a conversation with Gerald Combs our Product Director for METHOS.  I told him that somebody recently asked "Why is it so hard to have the right part at the right time?".  It triggered a few response that I thought were worth sharing.   Being in the software business, we immediately assume it is because you do not have our product.  Unfortunately, it certainly is not that simple. A few other reasons include:

• Sometimes it just does not make economic sense.  Who wants to explain the carrying charges of an expensive part sitting on the shelf for 5 years?  

• Occasionally, you might be suffering from some less than functional suppliers.  It is always good practice to evaluate their performance.

• We also hear of people telling us that it is in their system.  However, they can't find it!  Multiple systems, poor communication or unplanned inventory shrinkage can be the culprits.

• The problem can also be looking back at you in the mirror.  Your system might be directing the scheduling properly:  Perform PM on piece of equipment every 4 months.  If you only do it every 6 months, you are bound to run into problems.

Google Saves The Day

I am guessing that a number of visitors to this blog have the need to man a booth from time to time. If so, I thought you would enjoy this story:

We are exhibiting at a conference in Dallas, Texas. We wanted Internet access at our booth. When we were informed that it would cost $1,400....I promptly said "NO THANKS!"

I pulled out my droid (Google) phone and connected to the Internet. We then tethered laptops to the phone. Great performance and saved us $1,400! Thank you Google!
